Run the Vineyards 5 Miler and Food Truck Festival at Bellview Winery

Run the Vineyards 5 Miler and its food truck festival are held at Bellview Winery in Buena, New Jersey, on October 24, 2026, starting at 9 a.m. The 5 mile course is chip-timed and mixes scenic country roads with vineyard trails, with water stops and course marshals along the way. Finishers aged 21 and over receive a complimentary glass of wine, and the food truck festival afterwards adds live music, games and a picnic area. Walkers and children are welcome, and a time limit applies.

Five miles is an unusual distance and a useful one, too long to sprint and too short to jog. Race it at roughly your 10K effort and you will be close to right. Because the route mixes pavement and vineyard trail, trainers with some tread beat racing flats. A month of running four times a week, including one steady forty-minute run, is ample.
