12 Corners Wine Run 5k

Lace up your running shoes for an unforgettable blend of fitness and viticulture at the 12 Corners Wine Run 5k, set for Sunday, July 12, 2026, in picturesque Benton Harbor, Michigan. This unique 5K event invites both runners and walkers to experience the stunning 115-acre estate of 12 Corners Vineyards, with a scenic course winding through both grass and paved roads. While it may not be the ideal route for a personal best due to some hills and varied terrain, it promises an incredibly enjoyable and visually rewarding experience amidst the "epic landscape" and delightful aromas of award-winning locally produced wines. Starting and finishing right at the winery, the atmosphere is celebrated for its relaxed, no-pressure vibe and beautiful views among the vines, making it a perfect outing to share with friends.

Participants in this chip-timed 5K will receive a super-soft commemorative t-shirt, a shatterproof, collapsible wine glass, and a unique finisher medal that cleverly doubles as a wine stopper. The ultimate reward awaits at the finish line: a complimentary pour of 12 Corners Vineyards' exquisite wines, including varieties like Riesling, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot. Free race photos will also be available for download to capture your memories. With typical race day conditions seeing highs around 82°F and lows around 62°F, and only a 13% chance of precipitation, it sets the stage for a pleasant morning adventure. Whether you're aiming for a leisurely stroll or a spirited run, the 12 Corners Wine Run 5k offers a truly special way to combine your love for active living with the enjoyment of fine local wines.
