Lace up your running shoes and uncork an unforgettable experience at the Fence Stile Vineyards Wine Run/Walk 5k on Saturday, April 11, 2026, in scenic Excelsior Springs, MO. This unique 5K invites participants to enjoy a leisurely run or walk through the breathtaking landscape of Fence Stile Vineyards & Winery, combining fitness with the pleasure of fine wine. The course offers a "mostly cross country style route" with trails winding through the vineyards, making it ideal for those seeking a fun and memorable experience rather than a personal best. The event features multiple start times, allowing flexibility to choose between 5:00 PM and 6:30 PM.
The race course starts and finishes right at the winery, offering stunning views and a picturesque backdrop for your journey. Participants will complete a two-lap course through the vines, with the option to complete just one lap if preferred. Typical race day conditions in early April feature comfortable highs around 64°F and lows near 38°F, with a modest 16% chance of precipitation, providing pleasant weather for an evening event.
Beyond the scenic challenge, every participant receives a super soft ring-spun cotton t-shirt, a collapsible and portable wine glass, and a finisher medal that cleverly doubles as a wine stopper. The celebration continues after you cross the finish line with a complimentary pour of Fence Stile Vineyards' wine. Free race photos will be available for download, and pre-orderable snack packs featuring meat, cheese, and hummus are available to complement your post-race vino. This event promises fun, laughter, and a dash of indulgence, all while supporting The LAUGHH Foundation, the local charity partner.
