Sonoita Vineyards Love Run 5K

Embrace a unique blend of fitness and fine wine at the Sonoita Vineyards Love Run 5K on Saturday, February 14, 2026, in picturesque Elgin, Arizona. This annual "love-themed" event invites runners and walkers alike to experience a memorable race day at Arizona's oldest commercial vineyard. The 5K course starts and finishes at the Sonoita Vineyards winery, winding through over 30 acres of vines and offering stunning mountain views at an elevation of 5,000 feet amidst rolling grasslands. While suitable for all levels, be prepared for a two-lap route that features some significant inclines and areas of uneven footing.

Typical race day conditions for mid-February in Elgin often bring pleasant highs around 64°F and cool lows near 30°F, with a minimal 3% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running weather. What truly sets this race apart is the celebration that awaits at the finish line. Each participant receives a super soft cotton t-shirt, a collapsible wine glass, and a unique finisher medal that cleverly doubles as a wine stopper. The ultimate reward for your efforts is a pour of Sonoita Vineyards' award-winning wine, a perfect way to toast your accomplishment.

The Sonoita Vineyards Love Run 5K is more than just a race; it's an experience combining scenic beauty, a challenging yet rewarding course, and the charm of a celebrated Arizona winery. This event, supporting The Patagonia Youth Enrichment Center, promises an "amazing race" day filled with camaraderie and the distinct taste of the Sonoita Appellation.
