Course Map
The course starts and finishes at the winery. This is a fantastic and unique course unlike any 5k you've experienced. The race starts with a challenging 1/2 mile climb on the trail then opens to a pristine and breathtaking view of the vineyards. After some loops back and forth through the vines, we take a long lap around the perimeter and cruise back down the hill to the finish. What goes up must come down, so if you go up to the vines you're rewarded with wines at the finish! We do not recommend running stollers on this course due to the inclines, but it is very suitable for both walkers and runners.

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!
