Event Overview
The Hopewell Valley Vineyards Wine Run 5k is a running and walking event held at Hopewell Valley Vineyards in Pennington, New Jersey. It is scheduled for Saturday, May 9, 2026.
Event Details
The race is a chip-timed 5k event, professionally timed by J3 Timing, with results posted online. It is open to participants aged 1 to 99, and there is a discounted registration for minors aged 1-20. Both running and walking are allowed. The course is described as a scenic tour of the vineyards, starting and finishing at the winery, with an uneven ground that may not be ideal for achieving a personal best time.
Registration Information
The registration fee includes several items:
- A super soft, ring-spun cotton t-shirt.
- A shatterproof, collapsible, portable wine glass.
- A finisher medal that doubles as a wine stopper.
- A chip-timed race bib.
- A pour of wine.
Packet pickup is on race day only, opening one hour before the event starts. Virtual participation is also an option, with packets available for shipping (with an additional charge) or for local pickup.
Additional Information
The event features age group awards for the top three male and female finishers in ten-year categories. The awards are available for pickup at the registration table on race day, as there is no award ceremony. The winery will offer pizza and light fare for purchase after the event. Live music is also scheduled for later in the day. The event has a charity partner, Pennington Adult Living Services (PALS), which supports job opportunities for adults with autism and services for individuals with developmental disabilities. Dogs are permitted on a leash but are not allowed inside the winery building. Strollers are allowed but not recommended due to the uneven course terrain.
