Run the Vineyards - Bohemia Manor Farm 5K & 8K

Embark on a unique running experience at the Run the Vineyards - Bohemia Manor Farm 5K & 8K, set for Saturday, August 1, 2026, in scenic Chesapeake City, MD. This event invites runners and walkers to explore the stunning landscape of Bohemia Manor Farm Winery, offering both a 5K Run/Walk and a more challenging 8K Trail Run.

Both courses promise breathtaking scenery as they wind through lush vineyards, alongside the picturesque Bohemia River, and into charming wooded trails. The 8K distance adds an extra layer of adventure with a more technical single-track trail section, perfect for those seeking a greater challenge. Races are chip-timed, with the starting line positioned by the Bohemia River's beach bar area, creating an exciting atmosphere from the outset. Typical race day conditions in early August bring highs around 87°F and lows around 69°F, with a 17% chance of precipitation, so prepare for a warm, potentially humid run.

The "Run for Wine" experience continues well past the finish line, where participants receive a high-quality tech shirt, a stemless souvenir wine glass, and a complimentary glass of wine (for those 21 and over). Water stops and friendly course marshals ensure you're supported on the route, while finish line refreshments include water and bananas. The celebration culminates in a vibrant after-party on the Bohemia River waterfront, featuring live music, on-site food trucks, and a festive Tiki bar, making this race a true blend of fitness, scenic beauty, and community enjoyment.
