Get ready for an invigorating run and a fantastic fall celebration at the Run the Vineyards 5 Miler, set for Saturday, October 24, 2026, at the picturesque Bellview Winery in Landisville, NJ. This popular event, a favorite among runners, offers a scenic and mostly flat course that perfectly blends paved country farm roads with well-groomed dirt trails winding directly through the vibrant vineyard landscape. Runners can expect two convenient water stops along the 5-mile route, with additional water and bananas awaiting at the finish line. With a generous 1 hour and 45-minute time limit, walkers are enthusiastically welcomed to experience the beauty of South Jersey's premier winery.

The race, which kicks off at 9 AM, is more than just a run; it's a full-fledged Food Truck Festival and after-party, making it a unique autumn experience. Participants will enjoy a custom tech tee, a souvenir stemless wine glass, and a complimentary glass of Bellview Winery's award-winning wine (for those 21+), a highlight that many past participants rave about. Post-race festivities include live music from local artists like TJ Fry, a delectable array of food trucks, and a festive atmosphere perfect for relaxing with family and friends. Typical race day conditions in late October often bring pleasant highs around 65F and lows around 42F, with only a 17% chance of precipitation, providing ideal running weather.

The "Run the Vineyards" series is renowned for its well-organized events and friendly ambiance, consistently earning high praise from runners. Bellview Winery, celebrating its 12th year hosting this event, provides a beautiful backdrop for both the race and the lively after-party, with ample outdoor seating to soak in the autumn vineyard views. Packet pick-up is conveniently held on race day from 7:30-8:30 AM. This event supports a great cause, partnering with the HEADSTRONG Foundation.
