Run the Vineyards - Pindar Fall 8K

Run the Vineyards - Pindar Fall takes place at Pindar Vineyards in Peconic, New York. This event marks its seventh year at the North Fork destination, featuring courses that lead participants through 300 acres of vines. The race supports the NY Cancer Foundation. Participants can choose between two distances: * **5K** * **8K** The course consists of flat terrain primarily composed of hard-packed dirt trails and short-cut grass.

Both distances are professionally chip-timed with live-streamed results. Walkers are permitted to participate but are requested to register for the **5K** distance to adhere to course time limits. The **5K** has a one-hour time limit, while the **8K** has a limit of one hour and 40 minutes.

For safety reasons, all participants must be on the course at the designated start, as late arrivals are not permitted to enter the route once the race has begun. Registration includes a custom tech shirt, with options for men, women, and youth sizes. Water stations are positioned along the course, and refreshments such as water and bananas are provided at the finish line. Awards are presented to the top three overall male and female finishers, as well as winners in specific age categories ranging from 14 and under to over 70. The event features an after-party held in the vineyard's pavilion and picnic areas.

Participants aged 21 and over receive a glass of wine and a souvenir stemless wine glass. The post-race atmosphere includes live music and on-site food trucks. Free downloadable professional photos of the race and the after-party are provided to participants following the event.

Parking is available on-site at no additional cost. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
