Race HQ is in the large white marquee behind the vineyard restaurant. Parking is available on the estate and marshals will direct vehicles. The vineyard visitors centre will be open for tours, tasting and dining; bookings are recommended in advance. Races are chip timed and all runners receive a memento. Trophies are awarded for first, second and third places in the children and adult categories. Entry fees vary by distance, with lower fees for the 1 km and 2 km races and higher fees for longer distances. Entries close on Wednesday 16th September.
