Fables & Feathers Wine Run 5k

Free Race Pics Available for Download at all of our events!!! 

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 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!
