Description
Like Running or Walking? Love Wine? This race is for you!
Join us on Sunday, May 18, 2025 at 10:00am for an exciting annual event that features the amazing scenery and landscape of Millner Heritage Vineyard & Winery! Our winery boasts some impressive modern wine making equipment. All stainless steel tanks, a horizontal pneumatic press, temperature control etc… but we also value older, more traditional wine making methods as well, most notably, barrels and the value they have with producing our more robust wines. Some of the wines made, Jon tries to make them more in traditional Austrian or Hungarian styles, while wines made from grapes like Frontenac are very much Minnesota originals. Come take a winery tour and see the whole process of how the wine is made! Whether you are looking to run, walk or just enjoy the wine this race is a sure thing for a great time and an incredible experience! This race is timed and scored by J3 Timing. Results will be posted at www.J3Timing.com.

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 $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.
