Lace up your trail shoes for the unique Wine 4 Wildlife 4-Miler, set to unfold on Saturday, July 11, 2026, in the picturesque Fables and Feathers Winery in Goodview, VA. This beginner-friendly 4-mile route winds directly through and around the scenic vineyards, offering a delightful cross-country style experience with some uneven footing amidst the vines and property. It's designed for those who prioritize fun and camaraderie over clocking a personal best, making it an ideal choice for both runners and walkers. Typical race day conditions in July see highs around 88°F and lows near 68°F, with a 15% chance of precipitation.
What truly sets the Wine 4 Wildlife 4-Miler apart is its engaging prediction run challenge, where participants can opt to leave their devices behind and compete to finish closest to their predicted time. All finishers are rewarded with a limited-edition wine-stopper medal, which can be redeemed for a complimentary glass of Fables and Feathers wine in the tasting room, which stays open late just for participants. Adding to the festive atmosphere, the event coincides with a "Christmas in July" celebration at the winery; embrace the spirit by wearing festive Santa gear to earn $20 in store credit.
Beyond the unique race format and celebratory finish, the event supports a great cause, with proceeds benefiting the Southwest Virginia Wildlife Center. The start and finish lines are conveniently located at the Fables and Feathers Winery, ensuring a seamless transition from an invigorating run through beautiful scenery to a relaxing post-race social.
