Course Map

This is a 2 lap cross country style course. The route does include some challenging inclines, but it is very suitable for both walkers and runners.  The start/finish line is right at the winery, so if you decide to upgrade to the 2.5k by only doing 1 lap, that's fine too!  Click Here for Interactive Map

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?  Dogs are allowed in the winery building but be aware that there will be actors on the course dressed up to support the theme so, please make sure your dog is on a leash and okay with surprises if they will be joining you on the course!
  • 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!  

Packet Pickup

Packet Pick-up will be on Race Day ONLY beginning an hour before the race starts.

 

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 Haunted Wine Run Virtual Race and we'll ship your packet (NEW for 2023: There will be a $10.00 shipping and handling charge per person)

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 Haunted Wine Run Virtual Race.
