About the Eckert's Belleville Farm Wine Run Turkey Trot 5k

The course runs out and back along a bike trail that cuts through the farm property, so you pass oncoming runners on your way back. The terrain is paved and the surroundings are open farmland. Because it is an out-and-back, the finish line is visible well before you reach it, and there is wine waiting there.

Packet pickup happens the evening before at the Cider House on site, with race-morning pickup available as a backup. After the race, the farm has a full restaurant, a cider operation, and a country store, so there is plenty of reason to stick around.
