Ironstone Vineyards Wine Run 5k

Ironstone Vineyards Wine Run 5k takes place in Murphys, California, on March 14, 2027, at Ironstone Vineyards. One distance is listed, a 5K (3.1 miles), with a 10:00 AM start.

Vineyard racing in the Sierra foothills is rarely flat, so treat the effort rather than the watch as your guide and accept that your finish time will not compare cleanly with a road 5K. A late-morning start is easy to plan around: eat breakfast two or three hours out and use the extra time for a proper warm-up rather than a slow first mile. The distance itself needs no special build, since four weeks of regular running covers it, but a couple of hilly runs beforehand will make the day feel far more comfortable.
