About the 2026 Vintage Festival 5K Fun Run
The route moves through vineyard roads and tree-lined streets before finishing at the Historic Sonoma Plaza, where a daytime harvest festival is already in full swing. The surroundings are what make it feel distinct: you are running past working vineyards during harvest season, and the plaza finish drops you into live festivities rather than a quiet parking lot.
There is a costume contest judged before the start, so arriving early to check in at the registration table is worth it. Prizes go to the best individual and best group costumes, and the theme leans toward harvest and wine country. The whole morning connects to a larger festival, so the energy at the finish is well past what a standalone race would have.
