Run the Vineyards - Laurita 5K

Run the Vineyards - Laurita 5K takes place in Plumsted, New Jersey, on November 1, 2026, with a single 5K (3.1 miles) starting at 10 a.m. This annual event is held at Laurita Winery on a scenic off-road course, and a full slate of post-race activities follows the running.

Off-road does not mean technical here, but it does mean softer, less even footing than pavement, so expect your splits to run slower than a road 5K and race on effort instead. That makes it a poor choice for a personal best and a good one for a relaxed hard effort. Entry comes with a custom technical shirt and a souvenir wine glass, and the day includes live music, wine tasting, food vendors, and awards for the top finishers across age groups.
