FAQ's

• Is the race only for 21+? No, minors are welcome to participate and receive a discounted registration that includes a shirt, medal and bib. These participants will not receive a wine glass or a pour of wine but they will get a sweet cider at the finish line.
• Are strollers allowed? You are welcome to use a stroller for this event but it is not recommended due to uneven ground on the course and children in strollers can participate for free and do not need to register.
• Is walking allowed? Yes
• Is the race dog friendly? No we're sorry - the USDA does not allow for dogs to be in the U-Pick Orchard which is heavily featured on this race course.  Dogs are allowed in the parking lot, but not on the course.
• Do you do age group awards?  We do post age group categories so you can see how you placed, but everyone receives a finisher medal and a glass of wine in this event, not just the top 3!
• I still have questions, who do I contact?  If you have a question, someone else probably does too.  Contact us using the contact button below and we'll add it to this page

Packet Pickup has been updated to Race Day Only and will open an hour before the event starts.
