2020 RACE CANCELED. Due to COVID-19 uncertainties that inhibit us from properly planning the logistics for the race, the Itasca Runners Club has regretfully decided to cancel this year's race. Our race has accomplished much over the past 11 years and it has served as a medium to reflect the very best of our wonderful town of Itasca. Through the dedication of the running community, we have raised over $160,000 for a variety of community health and wellness causes and we could not have accomplished this without our racers and sponsors. Check back for updates about the 2021 race. Thank you for supporting the Itasca Oktoberfast 5K.
