Who's up for a 5K fun run around Willamette Valley Vineyards?

Hellllloooooo Wanderers!
Joan here. Now that there's a chance of sunny-ish weather in our beautiful home state, we are back and ready to wander locally, with you! I can't wait to catch up with you and I hope you've been wandering and wine-ing while I was gone. We spent the winter wandering through the beautiful wine regions of Mexico and I can't wait to tell you about our discoveries!

This is their second annual fun run and it seems like a great way to hang with other wine lovers and explore the original Willamette Valley Estate, including the original plantings, a.k.a. The Bernau Block.
Tickets are $55 now, and include a T-shirt, $10 towards a wine purchase, and a celebratory wine toast post race! 5k Prices increase to $60 on April 30th, 2025 at 11:59 pm pt.

We can firm up the transportation options and pre and post plans in the upcoming weeks, but tickets will sell out, so please do that first :)
I mean, we WILL be in wine country, after all, so maybe we go the night before, or post race lunching or tasting at a couple wineries afterwards-who knows?? That's the privilege of a wanderer, adventures can be made up as we go along, and changed on the fly! Feel free to throw out some suggestions for the group's consideration :)

About the Course:
The tentative 5k course will take runners and walkers through the Estate property, including the lower Bernau Block - Willamette Valley Vineyards' original planting. You'll pass through "Into the Woods," Willamette’s camping, RV, and outdoor facility, and finish with a challenging and rewarding climb up the vineyard’s iconic drive.
This course features very challenging ascents and descents, as well as a mix of paved roads, gravel roads, and dirt terrain through the Vineyards.

Here's a link to all the details, FAQs, etc. including an arial photo of the proposed course!
