Wine Run 5k at The Winery at Holy Cross Abbey

Free Race Pics Available for Download at all of our events!!! 

The race starts and finishes at the winery! The route is a combination of paved and cross country style terrain, so there will be some areas with uneven footing, but this course is very suitable for both walkers and runners!  This is an out and back route featuring a beautiful tour of the winery property and Holy Cross Abbey.

We are excited to announce that the charity partner from this event will be Royal Gorge RIO!

Officially founded in 2019 as a nonprofit, Royal Gorge RIO started as an idea. Since its early beginnings we have improved river accessibility to our community. The creation of  WKRP (whitewater park) has removed man made debris and hazards along the river bank to create a beautiful and inviting place of recreation.  Royal Gorge RIO looks to the future to expand on our ideas to create an inclusive river community for all ages and abilities. Through water safety education, river conservation, and whitewater recreation we will positively impact our community.

• Are strollers allowed? You are welcome to use a stroller for this event but it is not recommended due to uneven ground on the course and children in strollers can participate for free and do not need to register.

• Is the race dog friendly? Unfortunately, dogs are not allowed at this event.
• I still have questions, who do I contact?  If you have a question, someone else probably does too.  Use the contact form on this page, we'd love to hear from you!
  

Packet Pickup will be Race Day Only and will open an hour before the event starts.

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 $10.00 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.
