Run the Vineyards - Down the Shore 5K

Sunday, October 18, 2026Cape May, NJ5K

Experience the 14th annual Run the Vineyards at the historic Cape May Winery, a race that blends athletic challenge with a festive atmosphere. The course is primarily flat and paved, featuring a unique quarter-mile stretch directly through the beautifully manicured vineyard grounds. This popular event is designed as a celebration for families, friends, and running groups alike. Participants are rewarded with a delicious glass of Cape May wine and a commemorative stemless wine glass at the finish line. The post-race party keeps the energy high with live music, professional photography, and food options from the winery's Tapas Kitchen. With a sell-out history, this event offers a perfect mix of scenic beauty and post-race relaxation.
