About the Corteau Vineyards Wine Run 5k

The course runs through Corteau Vineyards, looping around the property a couple of times on mostly grass with patches of uneven ground and some real hills. It starts and finishes near the winery entrance, so the vines are what you are looking at the whole way. Strollers are not recommended given the terrain.

All pickup is on race morning, with the table opening well before the start. There is wine at the finish, which given the setting makes a certain amount of sense. Age group awards are available at the registration table after results post; there is no ceremony, so check your time and go grab it yourself.

Common Questions About the Corteau Vineyards Wine Run 5k

Will I finish last at the Corteau Vineyards Wine Run 5k?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 46:32, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:23:46, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Corteau Vineyards Wine Run 5k a good first 5K?

A field of 252 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Corteau Vineyards Wine Run 5k?

The 5K winner ran 21:22 while the median finisher took 46:32. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
