Half Corked Marathon
The Half Corked Marathon takes place May 28–31, 2026 and is the event’s 18th edition. The main run follows a route of approximately 20-24 km (final course to be confirmed) through vineyards and valleys on the Golden Mile and Black Sage benches, with sections alongside the Okanagan River. Winery tasting stations are located along the course and a Finish Line party features live music, food trucks, an artisan market and wine tastings; general admission to the party is free and a separate tasting ticket is offered.
Registration includes a curated welcome bag, transportation to the Start Line and from the Finish Line from Oliver, Osoyoos and Penticton, tasting bites and wines on the route, and a picnic lunch at the finish. The event is endorsed by BC Athletics; participants should be able to run at least 5 km over some inclines on rugged terrain and will have a maximum of 3.5 hours to complete the course. A Sag Wagon is available to assist participants who do not reach the mid-way point before the cut-off.
Additional ticketed events during the weekend include the Tailgate Social (May 28 at Lakeside Cellars; public ticketed price published), the Block Party (May 29 at Nostalgia Wines; includes transportation) and Dinner at the Farm (May 30 at Domaine Artema; includes transportation). Race tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable, entry is managed by lottery, and in-person registration the day before the race requires two pieces of ID and a signed waiver.
