Where? Texas A&M University Campus and Surrounding Area 

When? Sunday, October 26, 2025 – 7 AM

Calling all Active Aggies! Race through College Station and Texas A&M Campus in the upcoming tenth Annual BCS Oktoberfest Race Day! The race offers both half-marathon and 10K course options, and the best part? Both courses finish INSIDE Kyle Field! Upon finishing, you get not only a medal but also receive your choice of a finisher’s Beer Glass. Post-race, you can recover and celebrate with Oktoberfest-themed amenities, including local craft beers, sausages from Slovacek’s, and great music for hanging out.

Additionally, you’ll be running with a smile, knowing proceeds from the race are being donated to Mercy Project, a non-profit that is working towards eliminating child slavery in Ghana. Both courses start on campus, right next to Kyle Field, and go through campus and surrounding areas depending on your race choice. You have till October 25th to register — same day as race packet pickup —  so take a minute and register to run, get excited for the festivities after!

Aditi Jakkani

TAMU '26

Aditi Jakkani is a second-year member of the HER Campus at TAMU chapter. As part of the Events Committee in the chapter, she helps in organizing social events for chapter members. Through these events, the chapter gets the chance to socialize and bond in a more informal environment. Her writing covers personal experiences and recommendations for college students, with a particular focus on Texas A&M students.

Apart member for her time spent with HER Campus at TAMU, Aditi is currently a Sophomore General Engineering major at Texas A&M. She works in food service, as a barista at an on-campus Starbucks. Aditi hopes to work within a Technological setting, with a focus on Data Analytics or Cybersecurity, in the future. She treats her articles written for HER Campus as her creative outlet in the midst of her STEM surroundings and considers the discipline and skill derived from writing, valuable in being a well-rounded individual. She has conducted a 7-month long research project, a qualitative correlational analysis study, as the main focus of a high school course. This resulted in a research report discussing the access to environmentally ethical clothing for female adolescents and identified ethical fashion consumption barriers in suburban areas for them.

In her free time, Aditi enjoys reading psychological thriller novels and listening to Podcasts. Her workout style of choice is any cardio or reformer Pilates. She enjoys spending time with her family and friends, especially while trying new coffee shops or restaurants. Her perfect day would end snuggled up with her dog, Abby, and hopefully will add a kitten to her life soon!
