Lace up your patriotic gear for the Red Wine and Blueberry 5k Run, a vibrant celebration of summer and community taking place on Sunday, July 5, 2026, in scenic Egg Harbor City, NJ. Runners and walkers can choose between the 5K and a 1-mile Kids Fun Run, setting off from the picturesque Renault Winery. Typical race day conditions in early July bring highs around 87F and lows of 67F, with a 15% chance of precipitation, creating a warm and spirited atmosphere for this festive event.
The flat 5K course offers a delightful out-and-back journey, commencing at Renault Winery and extending to Egg Harbor City Lake. This multi-surface route is primarily comprised of packed dirt roads winding through serene wooded areas, with only minimal sections of pavement, ensuring a smooth and scenic experience for all participants. What truly sets this race apart is its unique post-race celebration: participants aged 21 and over will be rewarded with a complimentary glass of wine, choosing from red, white, or even blueberry champagne, alongside a commemorative take-home wine glass and an official race T-shirt.
The Red Wine and Blueberry 5k Run is renowned for its fun, relaxed atmosphere, making it a perfect occasion to get active with friends and enjoy beautiful views. After crossing the finish line, the festivities continue with a lively finishers' party featuring a live band in the Wine and Beer Garden.
