🏅✨ Medal Reveal Time! ✨🏅

We are SO excited to finally show off this year’s Running the Vines 5K/10K finisher medals AND age group awards! 🍇💜

Every 5K/10K runner earns a beautiful finisher medal at the finish line — and our overall and age group winners will take home something extra special too! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🍷

These medals are ready for vineyard miles, happy finish line photos, and a well-earned wine tasting at Shelton Vineyards. 😉

There’s only a little over ONE WEEK left to register, so don’t wait! http://runningthevines.itsyourrace.com
