The Lake County Milers Walking and Running Club, a 501(c)(3) non-profit running club that is dedicated to promoting physical fitness in Lake County through running and walking, is hosting a unique and breathtaking Vine to Wine Run at Cache Creek Vineyards for the second year in a row, on Sunday November 5 at 10 a.m.
Registration is currently underway.
Fast runners (ages 20 and over) are encouraged to register for the 10k distance to vie for the top prize. The first-place male and female winner of the 10k will be awarded a free entry into the 2018 Napa Valley Marathon happening the first Sunday in March. The Napa Valley Marathon is in its 40th year and is recognized as a top small marathon in the United States.
The Milers will support both Lower Lake High School and Upper Lake High School track and cross-country programs with net proceeds from this event. The Middletown High School Cross Country team along with Coach Carlisle will aid the Lake County Milers at the Vine Run by overseeing course set-up and runner support along the course. For their help they will also receive a donation.

The 5K walk/run (3.1 mile) and 10K run (6.2 mile) will offer participants a beautiful vineyard road experience among the vines and the surrounding countryside. Because Cache Creek Vineyards is in a mountainous area, participants in both distances will traverse varying terrain including some hills and witness pristine views of the winery property on hard pack vineyard roads and some trail. This event will be chip timed by NorCal timing and Medals will be awarded 3-deep (male and female) in each age divisions.
This upscale 5K and 10K event will include chip timing, a vibrant long sleeve tech shirt with Event logo (while shirt supplies last), a logo Wineglass and 5 oz pour of wine if you are 21 or older, and a flavorful wine country lunch complete with dessert created by Rosey Cooks Catering. The Current price for adults is $65 (ages 8 through 20 registration prices are discounted), but event shirts are first come, first served so entrants are encouraged to register as soon as possible.
