For those of us who don't drink beer, Oktoberfest celebrations in the U.S. can be a bit boring. Unless you're lucky enough to live in Cincinnati – those lucky Oktoberfest revelers have something entirely different to give them a buzz – wiener dog racing!

To make sure it stays sufficiently adorable, all participants must wear a chic hot dog costume, though they do get their choice of topping.

October 2013 was the Seventh Annual Hillshire-Farm's Running of the Wieners event. Over 100 contestants participated for the title of speediest wiener. No word on who the winning wiener was, but in my eyes, they're all winners if they look that adorable.
