TEMPE–– After a two-year hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The Frank Kush Youth Foundation in partnership with the City of Tempe and Tempe Sister Cities has announced the return of the  "AZTV Das 29th Runnin' For The Brats" which is scheduled to take place on October 8th at Tempe Town Lake as part of the Four Peaks Oktoberfest festivities.

The event features a 10K Run, a 5K Run and Walk, and a 1 Mile Run and Walk. Participants can register in advance at either frankkush.org or fourpeaksoktoberfest.com – or, on the morning of the event, at Tempe Beach Park. Proceeds benefit the Tempe Elementary School District, Tempe Sister Cities and the Frank Kush Football Endowment at ASU.

To encourage family participation, medals are awarded to all who take part in the one-mile run and walk. In addition to race T-shirts and post-race refreshments, all participants will receive free admission to the Oktoberfest (on Saturday, October 8), a stein and a free Oktoberfest Brat and beer or soft drink. 

Over the years, the Frank Kush Youth Foundation has supported a variety of Tempe and East Valley charitable and education causes. "We are pleased to again be part of Tempe's Oktoberfest and to honor Coach Kush," said Andy Dzurinko of the foundation. "Frank strongly supported fitness and families – and we are committed to carrying out his legacy."

Frank Kush is the legendary Hall of Fame head coach at Arizona State. He holds the program record for most wins as a head coach with a record of 176-54-1 in 22 seasons, but he also held a true passion for youth health and fitness through physical activity and education.
