Saturday, May 9, 2026 | 7:00AM

Location: 565 Atterdag Rd, Solvang

Start your 13.1 mile journey just blocks from the heart of Solvang!

Location: Solvang Park

Celebrate your 13.1 accomplishment in style as you taste from local wineries. All participants 21 years of age and older have the opportunity to purchase tickets to the post-race wine festival to enjoy tastings from over a dozen local wineries.

Because of space limitations, only guests that are 21+ with wine festival passes are allowed to enter inside the wine festival area.

Guests without tickets are allowed to congregate on the outside of the perimeter of the festival, and because the perimeter is a short picket fence, attendees are able to hang out with their friends across the fence. Guests or runners without tickets are also able to visit the Beer Garden area which has beverages for sale.
