Eden Rift Haunted Wine Run 5K

Eden Rift Haunted Wine Run 5K is held at Eden Rift Vineyards in Hollister, California on October 24, 2026, with the 5K starting at 9:00 a.m. The course is mostly paved paths with a few rougher sections, and the race is chip-timed, with awards to the top three in each age group. Entry includes a t-shirt, a souvenir wine glass, a finisher medal that doubles as a wine stopper, and a glass of wine at the finish line. Walkers, kids in strollers and service dogs are all welcome.

Mostly paved with a few broken-up stretches means road shoes are fine — no need for trail grip. Between the mixed surface and the vineyard setting, this is not the race for a personal-best attempt; run it as a hard tempo instead, or simply enjoy it at conversational pace. If you do want to race it, a few weeks of short intervals plus one steady run per week is all the sharpening a 5K requires.
