Points count towards our Year-Long 5k & Back of the Pack Series. Points will also count towards Sippin’ Series. Find more info about the series here.
The 5k course is three laps around the scenic winery. It is a mixture of gravel road, grass, and hills. It is a challenging course, but you finish right next to the open outdoor wine tasting bar! Those who just want a view of the winery can do a 1-mile walk and kids can do the 1-miler. Awards are for the 5k and Kids 1-Miler. All participants receive a finishing medal!
We now offer a virtual run option for those who cannot make it on race day. Find more information about our virtual option on our Virtual Races page.

Weather Policy
We are an all-weather race company (rain or shine or sleet or snow). We will email registered runners and post on social media if the race is cancelled, but this is quite rare, otherwise assume the race is taking place as scheduled.
Weekly weather reports are posted on the Thursday before race weekends on our Facebook page by Chad Merrill with the Hagerstown Almanack. Race officials may delay, change or postpone the event due to weather conditions. All registered runners will be notified via email of any changes. In most cases, a decision is not made until the night before the race, and a decision could come as late as the morning of the event.
