Run the Vineyards - William Heritage 5 Miler

RUN THE VINEYARDS 5 MILER hosted by the award winning William Heritage Winery! 

South Jersey's original vineyard race began here 15 years ago with the inspiration of Ken Culbertson, Race Director and Good Day for a Run Business owner when he developed a course which includes cross-country mixed with country roads.  A Brand New concept of running through beautiful scenery in the vineyards and finishing with the celebration of runners' accomplishments with awards, live music, and wine has become a tradition for running communities, families and friend groups! 

Excellent off-road cross country style course for approximately 3 miles and 2 miles on country roads. Timed 5 Miler race one week before Broad St. 10 Miler! Perfect for beginners and experienced runners. 

William Heritage is known for their award winning wines and is a favorite in the tri-state area! Newly expanded outside patio and outdoor seating areas for families and running groups to relax and unwind. Website Here: William Heritage Winery 

Charity Partner for this race is HEADstrong Foundation. Website Here: www.Headstrong.org
