Lace up for an unforgettable experience at the Run First Wine Later 3K/5K on March 7, 2026, nestled in the picturesque Lovettsville, VA. This unique event invites runners and walkers alike to Creek's Edge Winery, offering scenic cross-country courses that wind gracefully around the gorgeous vineyard property. Both the 3K and 5K distances feature a manageable 1 km loop, each including a small hill behind the winery to add a gentle challenge to your run. As you make your way through the beautiful landscape, you can expect typical race day conditions to feature highs around 50F and lows around 30F, with a low chance of precipitation, creating a brisk and invigorating start to your spring.

Runners in the 5K will find ample support with four water stations strategically placed along the course, while 3K participants will have two water stations, with Gatorade available at some locations to keep you hydrated. The course is stroller-friendly, though some sections may be more challenging for average strollers. What truly sets this race apart is the vibrant post-race celebration. After crossing the finish line, you'll be rewarded with a glass of exquisite wine from Creek's Edge Winery, a custom finisher's medal, and a technical event shirt, making for perfect mementos of your achievement.

The Run First Wine Later event is more than just a race; it's a cherished tradition that counts towards several series standings, including the Year-Long 5K and Sippin' Series, drawing a community of runners who appreciate a beautiful course and a celebratory atmosphere. With convenient on-site parking and restrooms available inside the winery, every detail is considered for a smooth and enjoyable race day.
