From the Race Organizer
Be sure to grab your family, friends, coworkers and come join us for one of the most fun filled events in Southern California, the Ramona Wine Country 5k. It takes place at the breathtaking Backcountry Gardens and is part trails with a splash of mud run plus a healthy dose of Mother Nature’s obstacles mixed in for fun. You’ll also find some hills, streams, boulders and much more. Not your average 5K! Everyone can do it as long as you have the drive and determination to keep going, not quit and in the words of Joe Dirt, “keep on keepin’ on." It’s a 1.5 mile two loop course. If two loops are too many, feel free to enjoy the single loop option. Oh, and don’t miss out on the Charity Solo & Team Beer Mile after the 5K is finished. All you gotta do is drink 4 beers and run 4 x400 meters Fastest individual or 2-4 person team earns the bragging rights. Once the fitness is over, you’ve gotta then join us across the road at the award winning Ramona Ranch Winery for a FREE wine tasting, share sto
