Elktoberfest Wine & Beer Run 5K

Race Swag:  All participants will receive a race t-shirt, race bib, drink ticket for a pour of 5 oz wine (or a glass of craft beer), a souvenir wine glass, and a finisher medal!!!  

This is a 1.5 mile looped 5k run/walk.  Runners and walkers will all start together at Vintage Elkhart Lake Winery and go west then take a left and head south towards the lake.  Runners will then run towards the golf course where they will turn around an orange cone.  The runners will turn around and then turn right on Osthoff Ave and finish going towards the winery. We will have water and light refreshments at the finish line for all runners and walkers and of course Wine and Beer! Remember it is 2 laps to complete the 5k.

Packet Pickup for runners will be held on the morning of the race from 8:00-9:00 am for the 9:00 am start time.  We will provide you with a race bib and safety pins.  The race bib has a drink ticket at the bottom that you will tear off to redeem for a pour of wine or pour of craft beer.  When you turn in your tear-off drink ticket that is when you receive your souvenir wine glass.  

The packet pickup process is quick and easy.  We will have 5-15 volunteers ready to pass out your shirt and race bib.  All we need is your name and we will look you up on our Runsignup App and get you your packet.    The process goes quickly and there shouldn't be any lines. :-)
