CINCINNATI —

Not all wieners are winners, but all winners are wieners.

One hundred dachshund pups – each dressed in a hot dog bun costume – raced Friday morning for the coveted title of fastest wiener dog in Cincinnati. Advertisement

It's an annual event that's part of the Oktoberfest Zinzinnati celebrations.

Each dog wears a provided hot dog bun costume, running in heats of 10 to its owner waiting at the finish line.

Purebred dachshunds are preferred, but mixed breeds of dachshunds are permitted to enter as long as they are the average length and weight of a dachshund.

The Running of the Wieners is an annual event and one of the most popular events during the city's Oktoberfest celebration.
