Temecula Half Marathon & 5K
Sunday, November 04, 2012 at 7:30am
Location: Peltzer Farms : Temecula, California
Details:
DETAILS: Race up and down dirt country roads in vineyard territory, then raise your glass at a finish line wine tasting with live bluegrass music – all in support of sustainable food systems. Presented by Sandy Feet Events, the 2nd annual Temecula Half Marathon & 5K at Peltzer Farms is currently opened to 200 runners.
Runners can add beer or wine tasting to race registration for $10 which includes a signature glass. All proceeds from wine tasting and raffles will be matched and donated to Temecula Valley Slow Food.
Make a day of it in Temecula! Show your bib number at neighboring wineries for 10% off wine tasting.
The Temecula 5K course travels through a scenic back country roads, while the Half Marathon out-and-back takes runners past vineyards and farmland. Both hilly, the 5K is an easier course, while the Half Marathon offers a hard/medium-level (hilly hot) challenge. Remember, dirt roads are better on your knees. Temperatures are expected to be chilly at the start for this fall race, heating up to the 90s by midday.
We have an awesome selection of raffle prizes from our sponsors. Bring cash if you want to drink a little extra or if you want to try your luck in the raffle. 100% of proceeds from raffle and wine tasting goes to Temecula Valley Slow Food.
PRE RACE CHECK IN will be at the Running Center (27548 Ynez Road, Temecula, CA 92591) on Saturday, November 3 from 9:30am – 1:30pm. It is optional to pre-check in for those of you who want to save some time on race morning. If you can’t make it then you can also pick up your packet on the morning of the race starting at 6:30am. Be sure to get there early enough to check in and get to the start line at your designated time. Team captains can pick up for the whole team and friends and family can also pick up for each other.
VOLUNTEERS: We need you! If you don’t want to run but still want to participate, we would love to have more volunteers! You can make new friends, join in the fun, enjoy live music and be a part of a great event. Volunteers are a very important part of Temecula Half Marathon & 5K, without you it would not be possible to host a fun and safe race. CLICK HERE

In an effort to be as “green” and as affordable (to all) as possible, there are no bells and whistles – your entry gets you a race, and nothing made in China to throw away later. For people who want shirts, wine and souvenirs they are made locally, eco friendly, and available for a minimal charge at registration..
THINGS HAPPEN: In the event of rain or any other wrench that gets thrown into our plan there will be a re-schedule date set and we are sorry but NO REFUNDS will be given. All event aspects are subject to change without notification. If you need to transfer from one distance to another; if you go up in price – you pay the difference; if you go down in price you lose the difference. If you for some reason you cannot attend the race you have 3 options, save your registration for next year, transfer your entry to a friend, or lose your entry fee, again, sorry no refunds on any portion of entry fees.

I signed up but didn’t pay for a shirt can I still get one? Can I up date my purchase to include a shirt?
Good evening. My friend and I were interested in registering, but I realize there are only 200 spots. Still available?
Thank you.
Are medals are awarded to all participants of the Half Marathon?
Medals are only being awarded to the top 3 male and female finishers in each age category.
There are 30 spots left as of today, 9/6
I’m registered for the half on Oct. 23.
I have been trying to figure out the course-especially the beginning. La Serena has no trespassing signs posted a little ways past Baily’s. How does the course connect to Vino Way?
Thanks
Hi Maurice,
The connection between La Serena and Vino Way is through private property owned by the winery, it is a citrus orchard.
Hi Ceri – Yes, Jogging strollers are allowed in the 5K but not in the half marathon.
Ok as of today, 10/10 are there spots still available for the Half?
