Lace up your running shoes and uncork an unforgettable experience at the Red Caboose Wine Run 5k, set for Sunday, February 22, 2026, in the charming setting of Meridian, Texas. This exciting 5K event invites runners and walkers alike to immerse themselves in the scenic beauty surrounding the award-winning Red Caboose Winery. Participants can expect typical race day conditions with comfortable highs around 62F and lows near 37F, alongside a minimal 9% chance of precipitation, creating ideal weather for a leisurely stroll or a spirited run through the picturesque Bosque countryside.
The Red Caboose Wine Run 5k features a scenic road course with some hills, beginning at 9:00 AM CST from the Red Caboose Winery at 1147 CR 1110, Meridian, TX. What makes this race truly unique is its celebration of the handcrafted wines produced from the winery's estate-grown grapes, cultivated using sustainable, "Old World" methods. Every participant receives not only a super soft cotton t-shirt and a chip-timed race bib but also a shatterproof, collapsible, and portable wine glass, a finisher medal that cleverly doubles as a wine stopper, and, of course, a celebratory pour of wine at the finish line. Free race photos are also available to capture the memories.
Whether you're aiming for a personal best or simply looking to enjoy a vibrant atmosphere with friends, this event promises a blend of fitness and fun. The race also proudly supports a local cause, partnering with the Bosque Animal Rescue Kennels (BARK). The Red Caboose Wine Run 5k is truly an incredible experience, offering beautiful scenery, a rewarding challenge, and the chance to savor exquisite Texas wines.
