Grape Day 5K

Location: 100 N. Escondido Blvd. : Escondido, California
Details:
Grape Day 5K is a 5K fun run for everyone from elite runners to casual walkers, so bring the whole family out for a good time! Stick around for the Grape Day Parade and Festival featuring a finish line beer garden with world famous craft beer by Stone Brewing. Each runner over 21 will receive one FREE beer ticket for the Grape Day Festival after the race, a cool shirt, an even cooler schwag bag.
Once upon a time (i.e. the first half of the 20th century), Escondido celebrated their grape harvest and their city with Grape Day – a day full of free grapes and grape stomping. Grape Day is back in full force, complete with the free grapes, stomping of the grapes and general festival fun. Be part of the celebration by registering for the brand new Grape Day 5K.
The race course through historic Escondido finishes at the Grape Day Parade starting point. Runners can cool down while taking in Grape Day Parade sights and sounds, then refuel and have fun with family and friends at the Grape Day festival. The Grape Day 5K benefits the good works, locally and internationally, of the Escondido Sunrise Rotary including polio eradication, the YMCA, Boys and Girls Club and youth leadership programs.

Please help- How can I see the results for each division of the Grape Day 5K 2010? Thank you!
This is the inaugural year of this event so there are no race results for 2010, Thanks!
Yes, all participants get a t-shirt and a cooler goody bag and a ticket to the beer garden.
I saw that there was a photographer at the event. Is there a place where these photos will be posted?
Great job! The volunteers were awesome! Thanks for a great race!

Very well organized event this morning. Will the results be posted this week?
Thanks for the great event. I really enjoyed the goodie bag, and it was great to have so many enthusiastic volunteers. I look forward to next year!
The announcer was very funny! He made all of us laugh the entire time. It was the best post race I’ve ever had
I also have to say the two lead organizers were awesome and the staffing was perfect.
I will be back next year!

The event was very well organized. It was a really good race course (and well marked) with fun prizes and refreshments. I look forward to running it again next year.
