Sonoita Vineyards Wine Run 5k

Lace up your running shoes for an unforgettable experience at the Sonoita Vineyards Wine Run 5k, taking place on Saturday, February 14, 2026, in scenic Elgin, Arizona. This unique event invites participants to run or walk through the picturesque grounds of Sonoita Vineyards, Arizona's oldest commercial vineyard and winery, renowned for its award-winning wines, including a Cabernet Sauvignon once served at a Presidential Inauguration Gala. Choose your challenge with either a 5K run/walk or a leisurely 1.5-mile walk, making it perfect for both seasoned athletes and casual enthusiasts.

The course itself offers a memorable journey, starting and finishing right at the winery and winding through over 30 acres of active vineyards. Situated at an elevation of 5,000 feet amidst rolling grasslands and surrounded by majestic mountain ranges, runners will enjoy breathtaking views throughout their effort. While suitable for all levels, expect a dynamic terrain that includes areas with uneven footing and a few challenging inclines, especially on the 5K's two-lap route.

Beyond the physical challenge, the Sonoita Vineyards Wine Run 5k is a celebration of fitness and fine wine. Every participant receives fantastic swag, including a super soft cotton t-shirt, a portable wine glass, and a unique finisher medal that doubles as a wine stopper. The ultimate reward awaits at the finish line with a complimentary pour of Sonoita Vineyards' acclaimed wine. With typical race day conditions seeing highs around 64F and lows around 30F, and only a 3% chance of precipitation, it promises to be a refreshing and enjoyable event, complete with free race photos to capture your vineyard adventure.
