Course Map

There will be vines and there will be wines!

 

The race starts and finishes at the winery!  This course has some challenging inclines and declines, but the epic views may take your breath away more than the challenging inclines.  Walkers and beginners are welcome to attend the event, but please be aware that this course includes several very significant hills.  This is a 2 loop course, so you will have the option to call it a day after 1.5 miles and head over to the post race party if the hills get you.  **Please tell our timer if you cross the finish lap and only complete 1 loop**  Please note:  weather or course conditions may result in a change to the race course.

Charity

We are proud to announce that proceeds from this event will support Feeding America and St. Jude Children's Hospital!


Feeding America - Hunger can affect people from all walks of life. Millions of people in America are just one job loss, missed paycheck, or medical emergency away from hunger. But hunger doesn't affect everyone equally - some groups face like children, seniors, and Black, Indigenous, and other people of color face hunger at much higher rates. Hunger also most often affects our neighbors who live in poverty. Please consider make a donation to help fight hunger. For more information click here!


St. Jude Children's Hospital - The mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Consistent with the vision of our founder Danny Thomas, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family's ability to pay. For more information click here!

Is the race only for 21+? No, minors are welcome to participate and receive a discounted registration that includes a shirt, medal and bib (these participants will not receive a wine glass or a wine pour).
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 walking allowed? Yes Absolutely!  We have as many walkers as we do runners (if not more!)
Is the race dog friendly? Yes, but please make sure your dog is on a leash.  
I still have questions, who do I contact?  If you cannot find the answer to your question on this page please use the "questions" button below to submit a question. 

Packet Pickup

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

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.
