Run the Vineyards - Blue Mountain 5K

Lace up your running shoes for the 10th Annual Run the Vineyards - Blue Mountain 5K, set to take place on Sunday, July 12, 2026, in the scenic New Tripoli, PA. This unique event offers a captivating cross-country style 5K, with the majority of the course traversing the short-cut grass trails of the beautiful Blue Mountain Vineyards & Cellars. Runners will be treated to spectacular, panoramic views of the Appalachian Blue Mountains, lush vineyards, and serene ponds as they make their way through this picturesque landscape. A water station will be available midway through the course, and typical race day conditions in mid-July include highs around 83°F and lows around 64°F, with an 18% chance of precipitation.

What truly sets this 5K apart is the vibrant post-race celebration. After crossing the chip-timed finish line, participants (21 and over) are invited to unwind with a complimentary glass of the vineyard's acclaimed "old-world" style wine, along with bananas and water. The festivities continue with live music, delicious offerings from a food truck, and free downloadable race and after-party photos to capture your memories. All runners will also receive a custom tech tee and a commemorative Run the Vineyards stemless wine glass, with an option to purchase a special wine-stopper finisher medal.

Whether you're a seasoned runner aiming for an age group award or a casual walker looking to enjoy a unique experience, this event welcomes all paces and ages. Packet pick-up begins on race day at 7:30 AM at the "Good Day for a Run" tent at Blue Mountain Winery, with the race officially starting at 9 AM. Runners laud the beautiful grounds and welcoming atmosphere of the vineyard, making this more than just a race—it's a truly memorable day of fitness, breathtaking scenery, and delightful local wine, all while supporting the HEADstrong Foundation, the race's charity partner.
