Yes! We will have at 8 water stations on the course for the half marathon, 3 for the quarter, and 1 for the half. We will have water, electrolytes (nuun), and 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 for dates and times.

YES, you can! You must request and pay for this through our shipping link below. (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.

Cute shirts, commemorative wine glass, huge 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.

Yes, we have some shirts, medals, and glasses left. Eventually we will donate them, but for now, we do have a few more left. Email or call a store and we will arrange pick up. You must request this to get these, however.

Absolutely!

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 paved country roads. This doesn’t mean it isn’t enjoyable and amazingly scenic (the views at the tops are always worth it!), but it just means you should expect to slow down a little and take a moment to focus on footing.

You will find yourself running THROUGH some actual grape rows, through farm access roads, and up or down some steep gravel roads. We will do our best to update you once we know about a month ahead of time, 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 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 highly recommend that you snag a neck gaiter (or BUFF, as some people refer to them as) to keep around your neck so you can pull it up periodically when it gets dusty. It’s not always dusty, but if you find yourself in a pack in a section that is along that red jory soil, you’ll be glad you had something to just cut some of that dust out a bit.

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. Wine tasting BEGINS at 8:45am and ENDS at 11:30am and the course reopens to regular traffic rules at 11am. 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 a slower walker unfortunately.

It’s really simple! 1.) Register for the virtual race. 2.) Race on your own anytime and anywhere between July 17th to July 24th. 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. 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 incredib
