Lace up your running shoes for a picturesque journey through the vineyards at the Colterris Wine Run 5K, set for Saturday, May 9, 2026, in Palisade, CO. This popular annual event invites runners and walkers alike to experience a unique cross-country style course that winds through the stunning 75-acre estate of Colterris Winery, Colorado's largest fully estate-grown winery. Participants will traverse mostly grass terrain with some mildly challenging and uneven sections, completing a two-lap route that offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Colorado River, lush vineyards, orchards, and vibrant lavender and rose gardens.

The Colterris Wine Run 5K is renowned for its blend of fitness and fun, making it an ideal choice for both seasoned runners and those looking for a leisurely stroll. The course starts and finishes right at the winery, providing an unforgettable backdrop for your race. With typical race day conditions in early May featuring comfortable highs around 72F and lows near 46F, and only a 6% chance of precipitation, the weather is usually perfect for enjoying the beautiful Colorado landscape. Strollers and friendly dogs on leashes are welcome, though strollers are not recommended due to the uneven ground.

Beyond the invigorating run, every participant receives a super soft cotton t-shirt, a shatterproof wine glass, and a unique finisher medal that doubles as a wine stopper. The ultimate reward awaits at the finish line: a complimentary pour of Colterris's world-class, 100% estate-grown wine, celebrating your accomplishment amidst the scenic beauty. With two convenient start times at 9:30 AM and 11:30 AM, and free race photos to commemorate your experience, the Colterris Wine Run 5K promises a truly memorable day filled with camaraderie, stunning scenery, and exquisite wines.
