ABOUT THIS EVENT
We are committed to a cure, even if it takes a village and a vineyard!
The inaugural A Village & A Vineyard 5K Run/Walk and Kids' Vine Dash will bring together community members and wine enthusiasts alike, all united by a common goal: to support survivors, family, and friends to bring hope to those affected by ovarian cancer. Under twinkling fairy lights, the vineyard transformed into a haven of laughter, clinking glasses, and heartfelt stories.
Festivities will begin with packet pick-up and family-friend games start at 2pm and continue with post-race celebration until 5pm. Opening remarks from survivors and acknowledgment of our sponsors will occur at 3pm, followed by a fun Kids’ Vine Dash at 3:15pm. The kids will begin a journey through the vines, collecting prizes from volunteers at the end of each row and a free t-shirt for all kiddos who complete the course! The 5K Run and Walk will take off at 3:30pm and wrap around the scenic property in the inviting rural community of Nevada. Spectators are welcome and invited to join the post-race celebration and stay for live music and food truck!
All 5K participants receive the following with their registration:
- High-quality race t-shirt (unisex)
- One (1) glass of wine or beer (must be 21 years and over)
All Kids' Vine Dash participants receive the following with their registration:

Additional Event Information
The winery will be open, featuring a food truck and live music! As the night wears on, a sense of camaraderie and purpose fills the air.
