Half-marathon runners visit multiple wine stations along the course; 10K runners visit fewer wine stations. Parking at Denbies is free for competitors and spectators and is a short walk to the start/finish. There are secure baggage facilities, toilets and changing areas at Race HQ; no showers are provided.
