Winery Run 2026

Wandin Estate Winery provides the setting: starting and finishing on the cricket oval, then following vineyard roads that wind out along Talga Road. The Winery Run is a multisport event with a road-race atmosphere, but its location makes it distinct, offering a "unique running experience through the picturesque Hunter Valley wine region" instead of a typical suburban circuit. Expect "rolling vineyard terrain with gentle hills," a course that allows for finding a rhythm while still acknowledging the inclines. The longer distances offer expansive views of well-known vineyards and the surrounding landscape, while shorter routes accommodate families and novices alongside seasoned adventure athletes. The defining characteristic is straightforward and appealing: participants enjoy "running amongst the vines," followed by the pleasure of relaxing at the winery post-race.
