COURSE MAP

The Course Starts and Finishes at the Winery!  This is a 2 loop course.

There is some uneven ground and small hills at some points in the course, but this route is very suitable for both walkers and runners.

1 Mile Course: 1 milers start and finish with the 5k, but go straight at the water stop rather than turning for a beautiful loop around the outside of the orchards.
