Parley Lake Wine Run 5k

Parley Lake Wine Run 5k takes place in Waconia, Minnesota, on April 24, 2027, with a single 5K starting at 9:00 AM. The course covers 3.1 miles at Parley Lake, and no elevation gain is published for it.

A late April 5K in Minnesota is often the first race of the year, run on legs that have spent months on treadmills and salted sidewalks, so set expectations accordingly and treat it as a season opener rather than a peak performance. If you want a time, do a few short repeats at race effort in the three or four weeks beforehand so the intensity is not a shock. If you would rather enjoy the morning, 3.1 miles is comfortably within reach of anyone walking or jogging regularly, and the 9:00 AM start leaves the rest of the day free.
