Race To Slow The Pace

Race to Slow the Pace is an annual 5K and 10K trail run at Bokisch Vineyards in Lodi, California. Both distances start in the morning, set within a working vineyard instead of a road course or city park. The race is presented with the John and Jeani Ferrari Family Foundation and supports California Farmland Trust, focusing on farmland protection alongside running. The course uses uneven dirt terrain with slight hills, guiding runners through vineyard rows, farm habitat, and open agricultural land. It is designed for a broad audience: families are welcome, strollers are permitted, and pets are allowed. The day also features brunch options and wine tasting for adults, aligning with the Lodi vineyard setting and offering a reason for non-runners to attend.
