Along the Vines 5K/10K
Along the Vines 5k/10k takes place at Colchester Ridge Estate Winery in Harrow, Ontario. The event offers two distance options:
- 5K walk/run
- 10K run
Both routes begin and end at the winery and follow the shoulder of County Road 50 East along Windsor-Essex County's wine route. Participants run alongside vineyard rows and pass North 42 Degrees Estate Winery and Viewpointe Estate Winery. The 5K turns around just before Ravine Cottages, while the 10K continues past Oxley and then loops back to the finish at Colchester Ridge Estate Winery. The course is flat, wheelchair accessible, and contains no off-road or trail sections.
A community market-style experience is held at the finish area after the run. The market features local food vendors, interactive experiences including a cold plunge, and spaces for health and wellness businesses to connect with attendees. Food options can be purchased in advance and there is a seating area for runners and guests. Dining with CREW requires a reservation.
The event includes a fundraising component: 50% of ticket sales are donated to the Windsor Cancer Centre Foundation. The day combines running along local vineyards with opportunities to engage local vendors and wellness services. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
