Adam Puchta Wine & Swine Vineyard 5K

Lace up your running shoes for an unforgettable experience at the Adam Puchta Wine & Swine Vineyard 5K, set to take place on Saturday, June 27, 2026, in the charming town of Hermann, Missouri. This unique 5K trail run invites participants to journey directly through the breathtaking vineyards of the historic Adam Puchta Winery. The race begins at the base of Vineyard Hill, where a lively Runner's Village sets the stage before you embark on an invigorating ascent to the hilltop, rewarding you with panoramic views of the surrounding hills and the esteemed winery itself.

The challenging yet rewarding course doesn't just circle the vineyards; it winds intimately through rows of Vignoles and Estate Norton grapevines, offering a truly immersive scenic adventure that you'll experience twice over. The downhill final stretch provides a exhilarating finish, where a refreshing Puchta Slushie awaits to celebrate your accomplishment. All finishers will receive a unique medal—a bottle stopper, corkscrew, and keychain lanyard all in one—and registration includes a portable wine glass. Typical race day conditions in late June bring highs around 86°F and lows of 63°F, with a modest 17% chance of precipitation, making for warm, potentially humid running weather amidst the picturesque Missouri landscape.

Beyond the run, the Adam Puchta Wine & Swine Vineyard 5K is more than just a race; it's a celebration. Formerly known as the "Roots: Cork & Fork Festival," the event culminates in a lively Wine & Swine Festival featuring a Pappy's Smokehouse Hog Roast, live music, and local arts & crafts vendors, ensuring a festive atmosphere for runners and spectators alike. This officially timed run, known for its challenging terrain and stunning views, promises a memorable blend of fitness, fine wine, and fun.
