Whiskey and Wine 5K

Whiskey and Wine 5K

This is a one-of-a-kind event where participants can not only run a 5K but also enjoy an optional whiskey and wine tasting while doing it. Participants will be able to try a different whiskey and/or wine every half mile along the 5K course. After completing the 5K course and 6 tastings of various whiskies and wines, you will be able to choose which bottle of whiskey or wine you want to take home with you. We will provide three different wines and three different whiskies for your enjoyment on the course.
