Description
Like Running or Walking? Love Wine? This race is for you!
Race Swag: All participants will receive a race t-shirt, souvenir wine glass, finisher medal and a glass of wine (or soda for our under 21 runners) after the race!
Join us on Saturday, March 6th, 2021 at 9:00am for an exciting new event that features the scenic views of The Cottage Vineyard & Winery featuring a great assortment of locally produced wines! With registration options for all wine lovers 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.
*Please Note: This course has extreme inclines and declines. As a conservative measure, we will be implementing a 1.5 mile beginner route for anyone who decides against the full 5k course on race day. Walkers and beginners are welcome to attend the event, but please be aware that this course includes several very significant hills.
Considering a virtual event? Check out our Virtual Wine Run 5k, or scroll down for more options!
Awards: All participants receive a sweet finisher medal and a glass of wine, so there are no age group awards at this race. But we will have live results broken down into overall and age group format for you to view.
2 Registration Options Available:
1) 5k Run/Walk
Run or Walk the 5k course with the rest of the field, then enjoy a full pour at the finish line with your friends!
2) 0.0 K Race
Spectators are also encouraged to attend! The 0k option gains you access to the race and includes a full pour and a souvenir wine glass.. and you don't even have to run!

Course Map
As noted above, but worth repeating: This course has extreme inclines and declines. 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 do not cross the finish line unless you are completing 2 loops**

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 (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
