Run the Vineyards - Jonathan Edwards 5K

The Jonathan Edwards 5K is a late-May 5K held at Jonathan Edwards Winery in North Stonington, Connecticut. The race begins at 9 AM, starting and finishing at the winery. It uses chip timing for instant results and is in its third year. The event welcomes walkers and children, with a one-hour time limit and a mandatory on-time start for all participants due to safety considerations. The course is primarily paved, featuring one mile through the vineyard and a water station. Post-race, participants receive water, bananas, a stemless Run the Vineyards wine glass, and a complimentary glass of wine for those 21 and older. The post-race gathering includes live music by Bryan Titus until noon, Munchies Food Truck, and local beer for purchase. Awards are presented to the top three overall finishers and the top male and female finishers in each age group, starting with 14 and under and proceeding through standard age bands.
