About the Killing Tree Wine Run 5k

The course starts and finishes at the winery and spends most of its time climbing through the vineyard property. The hills are real and they keep coming, but the route finishes on a downhill back to the finish area, which softens the effort at the end. The surrounding landscape is open and scenic throughout.

Packet pickup opens the morning of the race, about an hour before the start, so there is no need to make a separate trip. The winery serves breakfast and specialty cocktails during race hours for an additional charge, so there is plenty of reason to linger after you finish.

Common Questions About the Killing Tree Wine Run 5k

Will I finish last at the Killing Tree Wine Run 5k?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 50:14, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:35:26, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Killing Tree Wine Run 5k a good first 5K?

A field of 283 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 Killing Tree Wine Run 5k?

The 5K winner ran 20:53 while the median finisher took 50:14. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
