About the Run the Vineyards - Pindar Fall 5K and 8K
The course winds through the rows of Pindar Vineyards on hard-packed dirt trails and close-cut grass, so the footing is firm and the scenery is all vines in every direction. Both distance options cover the same property; the terrain stays flat throughout.
Packet pickup is at the winery on race morning, under a tent behind the main building, and the check-in window closes before the start, so arriving early matters. After the race, there is a donut food truck, a BBQ food truck, live music, and wine in the pavilion. Parking is free on-site, though a short walk to the start area is part of the arrival.

The Run the Vineyards - Pindar Fall 5K and 8K has been held every year since at least 2021. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
