Mari Vineyards Wine Run 5k
The event is a 5k run/walk held at Mari Vineyards in Traverse City, Michigan. The course starts and finishes at the winery and runs through vines and grass. It is a mostly cross country style route with areas of uneven footing and uses a two lap layout; participants may stop after one lap if they prefer. The route is suitable for walkers and runners but is not intended for achieving a personal best 5k time.
Registration includes a super soft ring spun cotton T-shirt, a shatterproof collapsible wine glass for those of legal age, a finisher medal, and a chip timed race bib. Results are posted online and a pour of wine is included for eligible participants.
Age group awards are offered for the top three finishers in each category. Ten-year age categories are 19 and under, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70-79, and 80 and over. Competitive runners must start with the first group to be eligible for age group awards. Awards are available for pickup on race day and will not be shipped.
Packet pickup is held on race day only. Minors may participate with a discounted registration that includes a shirt, medal, and bib but not a wine glass or pour. Strollers are allowed but not recommended because of uneven ground. Dogs are prohibited on site due to USDA rules.
The event supports the Traverse Bay Children’s Advocacy Center, a regional response center that provides intervention, prevention, and counseling services to children and non-offending family members. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
