Wicked Wine Run - Emerson Park
The Wicked Wine Run takes place at Emerson Park in Auburn, New York. This event combines physical activity with wine tasting, offering participants a choice between a running course and a walking course through a scenic park setting. The venue is located at 6914 E. Lake Road, and parking is available on-site for a fee.
Participants can choose from the following event distances:
- 5 km fun run or walk
- 1 km tasting walk
Participants in the 5 km event receive a race shirt, an event bib, and a finisher medal. Upon reaching the finish line, runners are provided with a glass of wine. The course includes two water stations for hydration, and the start follows a wave format with groups departing every few minutes based on pace.
The 1 km tasting walk is a laid-back stroll featuring three wine sampling stations along the course, followed by a fourth tasting at the finish line. Each participant in this category receives a commemorative wine glass, a race shirt, and an event bib. Attendees who select the combined ticket can participate in both distances.
The event includes an after-party featuring a DJ, food trucks, and various vendors. Spectators who do not wish to run or walk can purchase a tasting-only pass at the merchandise tent, which includes an etched wine glass and access to purchase beverages. Activities such as dance contests and costume contests are held during the festivities, and winners may receive event-related gear or wine.
