2026 Wicked Wine Run San Diego

Lace up for an unforgettable blend of fitness and fun at the 2026 Wicked Wine Run San Diego, taking place on April 11, 2026, in the picturesque Valley Center, CA. This unique event, held at the historic Bates Nut Farm, offers participants a rare opportunity to explore its scenic, oak-filled valleys and rustic charm on foot. With options for both a 5K run/walk and a leisurely 1K tasting walk, there's an experience tailored for every pace and preference. Typical race day conditions in April offer pleasant weather, with highs around 75F and lows near 52F, and only a 4% chance of precipitation, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience.

The 5K course guides runners and walkers through winding trails and fields, where you'll enjoy the natural beauty of the venue, with two aid stations strategically placed approximately a mile apart to keep you hydrated. For those seeking a more relaxed pace, the 1K tasting walk provides a delightful stroll, featuring three distinct wine sampling stations along the route and a fourth tasting awaiting you at the finish line. Both distances culminate in a vibrant post-race celebration, where 5K finishers are greeted with a complimentary glass of wine, and all participants can enjoy live music, delicious offerings from food trucks, games, and costume contests.

Known as the longest-running and most participated wine run in the country, the Wicked Wine Run fosters an atmosphere of camaraderie and celebration, inviting seasoned runners, casual walkers, and wine enthusiasts alike to come together. Whether you're aiming for a personal best on the trails or simply want to savor exceptional wines amidst stunning scenery, the 2026 Wicked Wine Run San Diego promises an engaging and festive day out.
