The festivities continue with the renowned Wine & Swine Festival, featuring a delicious Pappy's Smokehouse Hog Roast, live music, local arts and crafts vendors, and ample opportunities to enjoy Adam Puchta's award-winning wines. This event promises not just a race, but a memorable day of fitness, fun, and fantastic local flavors, making it one of Missouri's most scenic and unique running experiences.
