The Wurst 5k Run, presented by race|NORTHWEST, is an uphill, downhill, don't get lost, eat great sausage (Wurst), beer drinking fun run. This 3.1 mile race navigates along the streets of Mount Angel and includes just enough hills to make it one of the worst (challenging) 5k runs you might do this spring.Along the way, zig-zag through town on paved & gravel roads, attack those hills in the first two miles and cruise to the finish in a downhill sprint before racing to the finish line and celebrating at the legendary Mt. Angel Wurstfest. Live German music, great German food, fantastic German beers and great Domestic beers. See you there!
