**Please Note: This course is somewhat challenging, but definitely suitable for runners, walkers, and first timers!  This incredibly scenic route includes several hills and some small creek crossings.  Don't worry... the crossings are very small, but we do not recommend your brand new running shoes for this event :-)   If you're looking for a new personal best time, this is not the course for you.  But if you're looking for a scenic course, great time, and a guaranteed personal best wine run time... this one is for you!

Strollers - we do not recommend strollers on this course due to the creek crossings

We are excited to announce that proceeds from this event will support the Lewistown High School FFA Program!

FAQ

• 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? 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.  Email us using the "questions" button on this page, we would love to hear from you!  

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 delores@j3timing.com at any time to switch to the Virtual Wine Run 5k and we'll ship your packet (no charge for shipping!)
