Hill Wine Run 5k
The Hill Wine Run 5k takes place on Saturday, May 9, 2026, at the August Hill Winery in Utica, Illinois. The race starts and finishes on Mill Street in front of the winery. The course follows the I&M Canal and is described as very flat and fast.
Registration includes a t-shirt, a collapsible wine glass, a finisher medal that doubles as a wine stopper, a race bib, online results, and a pour of wine. A discounted registration is available for participants aged 1-20, which includes the shirt, medal, and bib but not the wine glass or wine pour.
The event is timed by J3 Timing, with results posted online. There are age group awards for the top three finishers in categories ranging from 1-9 to 80 & Over. Packet pickup is on race day only, starting one hour before the event. The event welcomes runners and walkers, and strollers are allowed but not recommended due to uneven ground on the course. Dogs on leashes are permitted. A virtual participation option is available.
The local charity partner is Friendship House of Illinois. Free race photos are offered. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
