The SKECHERS Wicked Wine Run Pittsburgh takes place during the Halloween season at Hartwood Acres Park in Allison Park, Pennsylvania. Participants can choose between a 5K run/walk or a 1K tasting walk. The 1K route features three wine stops along the way, with a final pour in an included wine glass at the finish. The 5K offers a more competitive experience, including a bib, event shirt, finisher medal, access to the after-party, and a wine glass filled at the finish.
The event combines racing elements with a festival atmosphere. Runners and walkers will find aid stations before finishing to a selection of wine, food trucks, sampling stations, music, games, a merchandise tent, and race bag pickup. Costumes are encouraged, and the schedule includes dance and costume contests. Spectators can attend with a tasting ticket, which provides an etched wine glass and a wristband for purchasing wine on-site.
