COURSE MAP
There will be vines, and there will be wines! The Race Starts and Finishes at the Winery and includes trails.
This is a mostly cross country style route. 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 proud to announce that our local charity for this event is The Florida Sheriffs Youth Ranches.
Our History
In 1957, a small group of Florida sheriffs saw the need for a residential care facility for troubled boys. With a little bit of cash and a big dream, they pooled their wisdom and efforts and watched their dream become a reality. Within a short period of time, they were helping many young boys turn their lives around to become productive and responsible adults.
Our Vision
To develop young men and women who, because of the Florida Sheriffs Youth Ranches, are able to face the future with a sense of direction, ability and hope.
Our Mission
The mission of the Florida Sheriffs Youth Ranches is to prevent delinquency and develop lawful, resilient and productive citizens.
