Lace up your running shoes for the 38th Annual Run Through The Vineyard, Temecula's premier running event, taking place on April 25, 2026. This celebrated race offers a unique opportunity to traverse the picturesque landscape of Maurice Car'rie Winery, with options for a 10K, 5K, or 2K distance. Organized by the Temecula Sunrise Rotary Club, your participation supports vital community service projects, including literacy programs and youth scholarships, making every step count for a cause.
Runners can anticipate a challenging yet rewarding course that winds directly through the sun-kissed vines and rolling hills of the vineyard, surrounded by Temecula Valley's beautiful mountains. The terrain features several ascents and descents as you navigate through the vineyard rows, with past participants advising some hill training for the steep climbs and soft dirt sections. Typical race day conditions in late April offer comfortable highs around 74F and lows around 51F, with only a 3% chance of precipitation, providing ideal weather for a scenic run.
Beyond the exhilaration of the race itself, participants are treated to a memorable post-race experience. All runners and walkers receive beautiful finisher medals and a quality T-shirt to commemorate their achievement. The festivities continue with a 2-for-1 wine tasting at Maurice Car'rie Winery, allowing you to relax and savor the local flavors amidst an atmosphere of camaraderie and celebration. Reviews consistently praise the event for its stunning course, abundant support, and fantastic post-race party, solidifying its reputation as a must-do event in Southern California's wine country.
