Carter Creek Wine Run 5K

Get ready to uncork a perfect blend of fitness and fun at the Carter Creek Wine Run 5k, set against the picturesque backdrop of Johnson City, Texas, on Saturday, February 28, 2026. This unique 5K run/walk invites participants to experience the scenic beauty of the Texas Hill Country, culminating in a celebration of handcrafted fruit wines from the renowned Carter Creek Winery Resort & Spa. The course, while details are still being finalized, promises an engaging journey through the winery's grounds, featuring potentially uneven terrain that adds to the hill country charm. Strollers are welcome, though conditions may vary.

Runners and walkers alike will be treated to an exceptional race day experience that goes beyond the finish line. Each registration includes a super soft ring-spun cotton t-shirt, a practical shatterproof and collapsible wine glass, and a finisher medal that cleverly doubles as a wine stopper – a perfect keepsake. The event is chip-timed, and results will be posted online. As typical race day conditions in late February offer pleasant highs around 67F and lows around 42F with minimal chance of precipitation, it sets the stage for an enjoyable outing.

What truly sets the Carter Creek Wine Run 5k apart is the festive atmosphere and distinctive rewards. Beyond the unique wine stopper medal, participants will enjoy a celebratory pour of wine at the finish line, making your accomplishment even sweeter. The race also offers free downloadable photos to capture your memories and is proudly dog-friendly for leashed, friendly pups. This event supports the Texas Wine Auction Foundation, contributing to healthy communities and the sustainable future of Texas wines. Join fellow enthusiasts for a memorable day that combines the joy of running with the delightful flavors of the Texas wine country.
