Run the Vineyards - Valenzano 5K
The Run the Vineyards - Valenzano 5K is scheduled for June 14, 2026 at Valenzano Family Winery in Shamong, New Jersey. The event is presented as the 10th annual 5K and is described as a community-oriented race that attracts families, friends, and running groups. The HEADstrong Foundation is listed as the event charity partner.
The course covers approximately 5 kilometers around the vineyard, along country roads and through a short vineyard trail, with the finish area at the winery. The race is professionally chip-timed with instant results. Awards are given to the top three overall finishers and to male and female age group winners in the following divisions: 14 and under, 15-19, 20-29, and then every ten years.
Participant amenities and on-site features include a complimentary glass of wine for finishers aged 21 and over, a stemless wine glass with the event logo, and a custom tech shirt for all participants with sizing and upgrade options. Free downloadable photos are available from an on-site professional photographer. Finisher medals are offered for purchase during registration or on the day of the event while supplies last. The event description notes post-race live music, an on-site food truck, and an open winery bar for additional purchases. The race is held rain or shine and operates a no-refund, no-deferral policy. Spectators are welcome and volunteers receive a glass of wine and a free future race entry. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
