Get ready for a delightful blend of fitness and fun at the annual Geneva Lake Distilling Wine Run 5K, set for Monday, May 25, 2026, in scenic Lake Geneva, WI. This chip-timed 5K run/walk invites participants of all paces to experience the picturesque surroundings of Geneva Lake Distilling + Winery. The course itself is primarily on roads and offers an engaging journey through the winery's landscape, with some sources describing it as "fast and flat" while others note "some hills". Typical race day conditions in late May offer ideal running weather, with highs around 72F and lows around 50F, alongside a mere 17% chance of precipitation.

What truly sets this event apart is the vibrant post-race celebration. Every participant receives a super soft ring-spun cotton t-shirt, a shatterproof and collapsible wine glass, and a unique finisher medal that doubles as a wine stopper. The festivities culminate with an on-site wine pour and an energetic after-party featuring live music, ensuring a memorable experience for everyone. Free race photos capture your journey, and for those looking for a competitive edge, custom age-group awards are presented to the top three finishers in various 10-year categories.

The Geneva Lake Distilling Wine Run 5K starts and finishes at the Geneva Lake Distilling and Winery at 401 Sheridan Springs Rd. While no parking is available directly at the winery (the area is utilized for the lively pre and post-race activities), ample nearby parking options are accessible, with a convenient 0.4-mile walk from Geneva Square. This exciting annual event also proudly benefits the New Day Women's Clinic, adding a charitable dimension to your run. Whether you're a dedicated runner, a casual walker, or simply a wine enthusiast looking for a fantastic day out, this race promises an unforgettable experience combining sport, scenery, and celebration.
