Mari Vineyards Wine Run 5k

Mari Vineyards Wine Run 5k is scheduled for April 11, 2027 in Peninsula Township, Michigan, at Mari Vineyards. One distance is offered, a 5K (3.1 miles), starting at 8:30 a.m.

Vineyard racing on the Old Mission Peninsula means rolling ground rather than a flat road loop, and the surface is likely to mix pavement with grass and gravel — a trainer with a bit of tread will serve you better than a thin racing shoe. Approach the hills by effort: hold your pace steady on the way up and let it come back on the descents rather than trying to hold identical splits across the course. As a first race of the Michigan spring, it works well as a rust-buster, and a month of consistent easy running with one hilly route each week is all it really requires.
