Race Information

Love and wine are in the air! So sign up today for a beautiful walk/run and never forget to Love the Wine You're With!


Join us on Saturday, February 17th, 2024 at 9:00am MST for an exciting "Love Themed" event that features Sonoita Vineyards!  The oldest commercial vineyard and winery in Arizona, Sonoita Vineyards was started in 1974, opened in 1983 and now includes over 30 acres of vines. Aided by the unique growing conditions of the Sonoita Appellation (AVA – American Viticultural Area), the winery consistently creates award winning wines, including a Cabernet Sauvignon chosen by national wine critics to serve at a Presidential Inauguration Gala. Perched at an elevation of 5,000 feet among rolling grasslands, the vineyard is surrounded on three sides by soaring mountain ranges. With extra swag options for all wine lovers, walkers and runners, this race is a sure thing for a great time!  This race is timed and scored by J3 Timing.  Results will be posted at www.J3Timing.com.

The race starts and finishes at the winery runs through the vineyard.  The course is suitable for both runners and walkers, but does have some areas with uneven footing and a few challenging inclines.  It is a 2 lap route, so if you complete your first lap and decide to call it a day, just let our timer know that you are switching to the 1.5 mile division!
