Kick off your Labor Day weekend with a scenic journey through the lush landscapes of South Jersey at the Run the Vineyards - William Heritage Labor Day 5K on Sunday, September 6, 2026. Set at the picturesque William Heritage Winery in Mullica Hill, NJ, this event promises a memorable experience for both runners and walkers. The 5K course is a scenic trail run, primarily winding along manicured vineyard trails with gentle rolling hills, offering charming country views throughout your stride. While a water station keeps you hydrated on the course, typical race day conditions might see highs around 82F and lows around 65F, with a 12% chance of precipitation, making for potentially warm but enjoyable running weather.

Beyond the chip-timed 5K, which features instant results and awards for top finishers across various age groups, this event is celebrated for its unique post-race festivities. Participants receive a custom tech shirt and a souvenir stemless wine glass, with an optional wine-stopper finisher medal available for purchase. The celebration continues with a complimentary glass of William Heritage Winery's award-winning wine (for those 21+), live music to set a festive mood, and an onsite food truck, Buon Viaggio Wood Fired Pizza, offering delicious refreshments. This race is more than just a run; it's an opportunity to create lasting memories while supporting the HEADstrong Foundation.

Known for its well-organized events and vibrant atmosphere, the Run the Vineyards series consistently earns praise from participants. Runners appreciate the beautiful setting and the rewarding post-race party, making it a favorite on the regional race calendar. The race begins at 9 AM, with packet pick-up conveniently located on race day morning at the Good Day for a Run tent behind the winery. Whether you're aiming for a personal best or simply wish to enjoy a unique blend of fitness and fine wine, the William Heritage Labor Day 5K offers an exceptional Labor Day weekend tradition.
