Description

Like Running or Walking?  Love Wine?  This race is for you! 

Join us on Sunday, February 9, 2025 at 9:00am for an exciting new event that features Birds and Barrels Vineyard!  This family owned vineyard takes pride in every aspect of production from the quality of grapes grown on site to the hand harvesting, pressing and crafting of the wine. In the age of mechanized mass production, quality is often over-looked. Birds and Barrels is turning back the clock by producing only high-quality, hand-crafted wine. Located in beautiful Willcox, Arizona, Birds and Barrels Vineyards is surrounded by majestic mountain vistas and gently rolling hills with grain fields, vineyards and orchards. Come and visit us to enjoy an Arizona wine experience like none other. With extra swag options for all wine lovers, walkers and runners, this race is a sure thing for a great time! This race is timed and scored by J3 Timing.  Results will be posted at www.J3Timing.com.

  • Is the race dog friendly?  Friendly dogs are allowed, they must be on a leash at all times and you are expected to pick up after them.

Can I Participate Virtually?

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 (There will be a shipping and handling charge for this option)

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 you follow the instructions below:

1). Go to runsignup.com/profile and log into your account.

2). Click on "Manage Registration" next to this race.

3). On the next page click on transfer to another race and choose the virtual wine run race.
