About the Run the Vineyards - Sips, Tricks or Sweets 5K
The course runs entirely on vineyard property, almost entirely off pavement, through fall scenery with mountain views in the distance. It is a Halloween-themed event, so costumes are part of the morning, and there is a costume contest with prizes after the race wraps up. A food truck sets up at the finish, and wine is available for those of age.
Packet pickup happens race morning at a dedicated tent on site, so there is no need to go anywhere the day before. Parking is free. The post-race party includes live music and tasty treats at the finish area, and the whole thing runs into the early afternoon.

The Run the Vineyards - Sips, Tricks or Sweets 5K has been held every year since at least 2016. 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.
