Can I Participate Virtually? Absolutely! We have been getting many inquiries about virtual participation and have integrated a virtual option into our regular registration. Please feel free to register through the regular registration link above and you can either: 1) Pick up packet during packet pickup or on the morning of the race, but run on your own (hint: wine ticket is still good if you use this strategy) 2) Contact us at any time to switch to the Virtual Wine Run 5k and we'll ship your packet ( There will be a shipping and handling charge for this option ) Also, if you intend on running, but later change your mind and would like to do either of these options, that's ok too! If you are definitely going to have us ship your packet and run virtually though, we do recommend you follow the instructions below: 1). Go to runsignup.com/profile and log into your account. 2). Click on "Manage Registration" next to this race. 3). On the next page click on transfer to another race and choose the virtual wine run race.
