Yes! We will have at 6 water stations on the course for the half marathon, 3 for the quarter, and 1 for the 5K. We will have water, electrolytes (Hammer Fizz), and Gu energy gels at each station.

We are offering a bib pick up over the course of multiple days before the race. See the bib pick up section above for dates and times!

YES, you can! But you MUST REQUEST and pay for this through our shipping link within registration. (International shipping is subject to additional costs to be determined at time of shipping.)

Unfortunately, no. Items won’t be available early enough to get them to you on time. We do offer very limited bib pick up on race morning but encourage picking up early to avoid delays.

Cute shirts, commemorative wine glass, beautiful medals, commemorative bibs and chip timing, and amazing wineries to taste from post race! What else would you expect from this summer Dundee Hills tradition!

Absolutely! We have signs at the venue showing where it’s at. No charge, of course!

Please DO NOT bring dogs to the venue or on the course. Our insurance does not allow for pets at the event, and while it may be OK to have them at the park in general, it will likely be warm that day and the excitement and noise of an event is not the best place for an animal.

Yes, this race has never been exactly the same from year to year and that’s part of the fun! It does make it a little difficult for those of you that like to know every detail about a course ahead of time, but it’s also a reminder that nothing can exactly prepare you for a course on a working farm. After all, farms are constantly being tended to, adapted, adjusted, tilled up, and maintained. With this said, we usually expect to have our 99% finalized yearly course ready about a month ahead of the actual race date. That’s when you can expect to see an updated link and email.

All different distances should expect varied terrain. From the 5K to the half marathon, all courses will feature bumpy grass, dusty paths, gravel, as well as many sections of paved country roads. It can be challenging in some spots but you are guaranteed amazing scenery (the views at the tops are always worth it!). Expect to slow down a little and take a moment to focus on footing.

You will find yourself running through vineyard roads and paths, up or down some steep gravel roads, along with paved county roads. We will do our best to update you once we know about a month ahead of time and let you know which vineyards you will cross! We will note them on the map so you can reference them when you head back for tasting!

We recommend that you get a pair of trail shoes or shoes you don’t mind getting dirty, but it is not necessary. There are long sections of paved road as well, so a road shoe will serve you well on those sections. BUT… the advantage of a trail shoe is a stiffer midsole that may help a bit with any rocks or uneven surfaces. The ground should not be muddy in July, but it will be dusty. We do see many people recycling their shoes afterwards and slipping on a pair of Oofos sandals (we’ll have them there to purchase) or just getting a new pair after they use up the rest of their shoe on this dusty race course.

We combine our Half and Quarter starts together and then start our 5K after all our Half/Quarter get off the first 5 miles of the course. We will also stagger our starts based on pace groups by just a few minutes just to ease any congestion at the very beginning. The exact schedule is listed on the website here!

There is a 4 hour cut off for this event. No problems for the 10K and 5K, but if you are doing the half, plan accordingly. Wine tasting BEGINS at 8:45am and ENDS at 11:45am usually and the course reopens to regular traffic rules at 11:30am. Please plan accordingly. If you feel that you cannot make the 4 hour cut-off for this race, please request to transfer down to the quarter marathon at bib pick up. This is a challenging course and it is not meant for the beginner half marathoner or slower walker, unfortunately.

It’s really simple! 1.) Register for the virtual race. 2.) Race on your own anytime and anywhere from race day up to 6 days after. 3.) You will receive a text and email prompt that you can submit your finish time to and any photos if you want to add them! 4.) You will be able to pick up your swag at any bib pick up location OR you can choose to have it shipped to you ONLY IF YOU CHOOSE THIS THROUGH OUR SHIPPING LINK.

Absolutely. In fact, spectators are encouraged to buy an additional tasting ticket to allow them to participate in the wine tasting too! We strongly believe that the support of our friends and family are important for our mental and physical well being. But we absolutely only want one vehicle per household or group, if possible. Parking is limited. In addition, we ask that spectators provide plenty of space in the starting area for adequate spacing.

We know that some of your support crew may wnat to be ON the course somewhere. Here are some ways that you can easily make this happen:

– Drive and STAY at the spot. Do not drive throughotut the course given that it’s dusty and unsafe. Find a water station and hang out or volunteer there.
– Bring a bike! Biking is a great way to monitor the course and jump from spot to spot.
– VOLUNTEER AT A WATER STATION! Email info@foottraffic.us and let us know if you want to volunteer at one of the earlier water stations. You can be there as a cheer squad for your friends or family, earn yourself a free tasting ticket, and can still head back after your shift is over to celebrate with them at the finish!

With a smaller venue like we have, it’s incredibly important for everyone to arrive together. We don’t have enough parking to accommodate families to come separately. Please plan on carpooling with your family or with others!

We ask that family do not grab the food marked for participants. This is an honor system thing, but it helps ensure we have enough for folks finishing later. We do, however, bring food trucks to offer really tasty food to buy during and after the race!

Of course! They will not be able to approach and be near the tasting tables at each wine tasting tent. But it is not uncommon to see kids in the park having a picnic with their parents after the race.

For current winery lists, we encourage you to follow us on instagram where we post updates in real time at www.instagram.com/fueledby_finewine
A star-studded lineup of DHWA wineries will be serving you wine under individual tasting tents throughout the park. Take your commemorative wine glass and choose the wineries you have always wanted to test. Have a friend or loved one that doesn’t run? Not a problem! You can actually buy a separate tasting ticket for (valued at over 3 times that amount) and they’ll get a commemorative glass and all the wine tasting too!

YES! This is highly suggested for your friends and/or family that will join you. The tasting tickets are usually about $35 and include a wine glass and all the tasting that the participants get!
