Highlights of the route:
​
Almost all grass running = softer on your feet/knees.
  1. You'll literally run through the vines where the grapes are grown for the wine you'll soon drink.
  2. Nature. Just nature. All around you.
  3. Amazing mountain views throughout.
  4. You'll see friends the entire time for sweet high fives.
  5. It's chip timed, so you'll get a chance to see how your 5K time matches up against your normal road race time.
