The race
The Wine Run at Rossendale Wines Vineyard offers a unique experience where participants can enjoy wine tastings approximately every kilometre along the course. This non-competitive event features a scenic 5km route through the vineyard, enhancing the atmosphere with picturesque views of the surrounding landscape.
At each tasting station, participants can sample a selection of wines paired with cheese and crackers, creating a relaxed and enjoyable environment. Water and electrolyte stations are also available to ensure hydration throughout the run.
As this is an R18 event, proof of age is required during event pack collection and upon entry to the vineyard. The emphasis on leisure and social interaction makes this event a distinctive addition to the running calendar, appealing to those looking to combine fitness with a culinary experience.
