About the Wine Run at Sakonnet Vineyard

The course winds through the working trails of Sakonnet Vineyard, so you are running among the vines the whole way. The terrain is honest trail, with rocks and ruts throughout, and the organizers are upfront that you should watch your footing. It is not a groomed path. The finish brings you back into the vineyard itself.

Bib pickup opens well before the start, and the race runs rain or shine. After finishing, there is dinner, wine, and live music out among the vines. There is also a souvenir wine glass at the finish. Parking is included.

Common Questions About the The Wine Run at Sakonnet Vineyard

Will I finish last at the Wine Run at Sakonnet Vineyard?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3 Miles field finished slower than 39:58, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:09:27, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Wine Run at Sakonnet Vineyard a good first 3 Miles?

It is a small race (177 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 3 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Wine Run at Sakonnet Vineyard?

The 3 Miles winner ran 20:21 while the median finisher took 39:58. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
