Course Map
There will be vines, and there will be wines! The Race Starts and Finishes at the Winery and includes vines and grass. This is a mostly cross country style route and has areas of uneven footing.
If you're looking for a personal best 5k time this is probably not the best course for you, but if you're looking for the most fun time you've had at a 5k this one is for you!
The course is very suitable for both runners and walkers. We offer a 2 lap course. If you do not feel doing the course twice in the vines, you are more than welcome to step out after lap 1 and do more laps on the wines! Cheers!
Charity Partner
We are excited to announce that, for the second year in a row, our local charity partner for this event will be The Traverse Bay Children Advocacy Center!
