COURSE MAP
There will be vines, and there will be wines!
The Race Starts and Finishes next to the Winery and includes vines and grass.
This is a mostly cross country style route and has areas of uneven footing, but it is suitable for both runners and walkers.
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!
