We are proud to announce that the charity partner for this event will be Claws & Paws Animal Rescue Center!

CLAWS AND PAWS RESALE in Olney, IL operates as a Non-Profit Organization. The resale shop sustains itself by community donations and utilizing gently used items and clothing and making them affordable to communities of Richland County and abroad. 

Our founder Shelley Brinkley of Olney, evolved from a young girl rescuing animals, to a Local Grassroots Animal Rescue Advocate. Shelley’s spirit encompasses her childhood dream that has developed into a reality. This reality became a life-long journey as this advocate committed to helping and searching for missing animals, rescued animals on her own, assisted in the adoption process of other shelters, and personally taken a stand in the community by housing some neglected, abused, or owner relinquished animals into her own home.   With nearly a decade in pursuing the journey along with her trailblazing ambition, CLAWS AND PAWS RESALE in Olney, IL opened in 2019 thus began the “Safe Spot for All Paws” Campaign. 
With overwhelming support from the communities residents and businesses alike, her dream of opening an Animal Rescue Center became a reality in October 2019. For more information click here!

Packet Pickup has been updated to 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 (NEW for 2023: 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.
