Course Map
The route is a 2 Lap cross country style course, mostly on grass with some areas of uneven footing. The route does have some challenging hills, but is very suitable for both runners and walkers. Fun Runners: if you decide not to tackle the 2nd lap and head straight to the finish wine instead of the finish line, please let our timer know and we will change you to the 1.5 mile division.

Angels of Light, Inc. was started over 15 years ago by Lori and George Decker. With the help of their family, they began giving to those who needed it the most during the Holiday Season.
With the help of their family the number of families grew yearly, and Angels of Light became a 501c3 in 2016. Since Angels of Light first began they have delivered over 7,500 gifts to over 1,300 children living in the Hudson Valley.
We are happy to announce that Angels of Light's initial mission, to assist children and families with life-threatening illnesses living in the Hudson Valley, has expanded to helping children and families all year-round with medical bills, utilities, food, gas and much more.

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:
