Join Frederick Oktoberfest Walk Sept. 27

The Seneca Valley Sugarloafers Volksmarch Club is sponsoring a Frederick, Maryland Oktoberfest Walk on Saturday, Sept. 27, 2025.  Both the 10km and 5km trails, rated 2A, go to historic downtown Frederick along the Carroll Creek Park. These trails are on sidewalks and roadsides.  The trails are user-friendly for wagons, wheelchairs and strollers though some difficulty may be encountered where there are no curb cuts. 

The Start/Finish point is at the Frederick Fairgrounds, 797 E. Patrick Street; Frederick, Maryland 21701.  The Start table is located within the Fairgrounds beyond the entrance to Gate 1 for the Oktoberfest. Volksmarch parking is on the grass parking lot across from Gate 1 of the Fairgrounds.  Parking is free, but you may make a donation to the Rotary Clubs. All walkers 12+ years will pay a $4 participation fee.  Children under 12 may earn IVV credit for no charge at all events sponsored by the Seneca Valley Sugarloafers Volksmarch Club.  The start time is between 9 a.m. and noon. Walkers must finish by 3 p.m.  Restrooms are available at the Start/Finish point and along the trail.  No pets are permitted at the Fairgrounds. 

Walkers will enjoy free entry into Frederick’s Oktoberfest! The cost is normally $10.
