Temecula Half Marathon, 10K, 5K

Temecula Half Marathon, 10K, 5K is based at Wilson Creek Winery & Vineyards in Temecula, California, on November 8, 2026. The half marathon (13.1 miles) starts at 7 a.m., the 10K and the 5K run/walk at 7:30, and a kids' dash closes the morning at 10:30. Chip timing, a premium shirt, a finisher medal and a well-marked course come with entry.

Rolling ground through the vineyards and surrounding hills is the defining feature, so this is not the place for a flat personal best. Train on hills rather than avoiding them, and practice running the descents relaxed, since they punish quadriceps that have only seen level ground. Every distance welcomes runners of any level, and the 5K makes an easy first race. Wine, music and age-group awards follow the finish, with soft drinks available for anyone not drinking.
