If you like whiskey, wine, and running 5k races, then this event is a perfect match for you. Welcome to the first annual Whiskey and Wine 5K. This is a one-of-a-kind event where participants can not only run a 5K but also enjoy a whiskey and wine tasting while doing it. Participants will be able to try a different whiskey and/or wine every half mile along the 5K course. If you’re doing the math, that’s 6 different tastings throughout the course! After completing the 5K course and 6 tastings of various whiskies and wines, you will be able to choose which bottle of whiskey or wine you want to take home with you.
We will provide three different wines and three different whiskies for your enjoyment on the course. The exact flavors will be kept a secret until the day of the event. However, participants can expect to taste unique whiskies and wines. For example, no Jack Daniels whiskey and no Barefoot wine. This race will be limited to 100 runners.
Course
The course is a one loop, 5K course… Or maybe just a tad longer! The course is actually 3.4 to 3.5 miles. The course will be clearly marked with signs and flagging tape. It will follow the Lunker Lake Trail at Oak Mountain State Park.
