The Course.

Select From

Participants will have the choice of a 6km, 10km, 21km half marathon course. All three events will start on the front lawns of Pegasus Bay Winery and parking will be provided nearby. Running or walking are options in the 6km and 10km, however, we do not offer a walking option in the half marathon.

Please note the terrain for all three options includes vineyard rows, paths, and trails. The half marathon has some steep inclines and descents so please train accordingly. There will be uneven ground so care should be taken at all times. Entrants are strongly advised to wear trail shoes for all distances.

Vine Run 6km

There is a short rise to start and then it is relatively flat through the vineyards until the end of the course where another brief incline brings you back to the finish line.

Vine Run 10km

This follows the same course until the 6km mark where there is a split. The additional distance includes short ascents and descents, although nothing technical. Both 6km and 10km will start together at 9.30am. Walkers will be asked to stay to the back to help ease congestion.

Vine Run Half Marathon

Will start at 8.15am and is only available to adults. It includes a 11km loop on an adjacent piece of land, which will be completed prior to joining the 10km course. The terrain is mostly trails, with some steep inclines to approximately 140m and some tricky descents. The views from the top are majestic and look out over the Waipara Valley and Pegasus Bay. This will be a tough challenge but highly rewarding. Please note that we do not allow this distance to be walked. There is a cut off time of 3.5 hours for this distance.
