The Race Starts and Finishes at the Winery! The route is on grass and paved roads and features an amazing and scenic course! This is not the optimal course for a PR, but it is a great option if you're looking for the most fun you've had at a 5k! Runners and Walkers are welcomed to participate!
Please note: kids are welcome to run or walk, but strollers or baby carriers are not allowed on the course due to a few areas with uneven ground. Also please note that dogs are not allowed at the winery or on the course.
THIS IS A 2 LOOP COURSE! Please do not cross the timing mat after your first lap. You will cross the timing mat at the start of the race, and again at the finish.
If you decide to only do 1 lap, that's fine! Just let our timer know and we'll switch you to the 2.5K division!
Absolutely! We have been getting many inquiries about virtual participation and have integrated a virtual option into our regular registration.
Please feel free to register through the regular registration link above and you can either:
1) Pick up packet during packet pickup or on the morning of the race, but run on your own (hint: wine ticket is still good if you use this strategy)
2) Contact us at any time to switch to the Virtual Wine Run 5k and we'll ship your packet (no charge for shipping!)
Also, if you intend on running, but later change your mind and would like to do either of these options, that's ok too! If you are definitely going to have us ship your packet and run virtually though, we do recommend signing up HERE

Packet Pickup has been updated to Race Day Only and will open an hour before the event starts.
