Get ready for a unique and invigorating experience at the 6th annual Rivaura Rosé River Run/Walk on May 10, 2026, in scenic Juliaetta, ID. This family-friendly 3.1-mile (5K) event offers a picturesque course that begins at Rivaura's stunning Event Barn, leading runners and walkers on an unforgettable journey through the beautiful South Vineyard before heading west onto Hewett Road towards Spaulding Park. The turnaround route brings participants back through the vineyard, culminating with a festive finish at the Event Barn. Typical race day conditions for this time of year feature pleasant highs around 67°F and lows around 37°F, with only a 12% chance of precipitation, promising ideal running weather.
What truly sets the Rivaura Rosé River Run/Walk apart is its vibrant atmosphere and meaningful mission. Participants can look forward to a memorable run through rows of grapes, followed by an engaging post-race celebration at the Event Barn, which opens early at 8:30 AM with music, food, and drinks. Every runner receives a commemorative t-shirt, a wine tumbler, and a complimentary glass of Rivaura's Cab Franc Rosé or River Ranch Brewing Co. beer (sparkling cider for those under 21). The race has seen impressive growth, with over 600 participants last year and a goal of 1000 for 2026, reflecting its strong community appeal.
Beyond the beautiful scenery and celebratory perks, this event carries a significant purpose: a portion of race proceeds and 100% of donations are dedicated to Fentanyl Awareness, honoring the memory of Winemaker Lane Hewett's friend, Cal Daniel Heinen. Join fellow runners and walkers for a delightful blend of fitness, fine wine, and a commitment to a vital cause in the heart of Idaho's wine country.
