Lace up your running shoes for an unforgettable experience at the Van Duzer Wine Run 5k, set amidst the stunning landscapes of Van Duzer Vineyards in Dallas, Oregon, on Sunday, June 14, 2026. This popular event offers participants the unique chance to run or walk a 5K course that winds directly through the picturesque vineyard, providing breathtaking scenery every step of the way. The course is a single-lap, cross-country style route featuring some uneven footing and inclines, making it an engaging challenge suitable for both seasoned runners and casual walkers. You can choose from two convenient start times, 8:30 AM or 10:30 AM, to best suit your morning.
As you complete the 5k, you'll be greeted with an exciting finish line celebration and a host of unique rewards. All participants receive a super soft ring-spun cotton t-shirt, a shatterproof, collapsible, and portable wine glass, and a distinctive finisher medal that cleverly doubles as a wine stopper. The ultimate reward for your effort? A complimentary pour of Van Duzer Vineyards' exquisite wine. Multiple water stations will be available along the course to keep you hydrated, and typical race day conditions in mid-June bring pleasant highs around 74F and lows near 51F, with only a 5% chance of precipitation, ensuring ideal running weather.
The Van Duzer Wine Run 5k is more than just a race; it's a celebration of fitness, community, and the beauty of Oregon's wine country. This annual event consistently sells out quickly, known for its vibrant atmosphere and runner-friendly amenities, including free race photos and age group awards for top male and female finishers. Strollers and leashed, friendly dogs are welcome on the course, making it a perfect outing for the whole family, though dogs are not permitted inside the winery building.
