Race Review

The Run Now Wine Later 4.5 mile race held at Gervasi Vineyard in Canton, Ohio was another well organized and fantastic event put on by the fine people at RunCanton.com. The real draw to this sold out event was of course the location. Gervasi Vineyard is about as nice as it gets for any race. The course is 4.5 miles of small rolling hills and flats on the paved and gravel trails of Gervasi and the surrounding parks. The course provides just enough elevation change to challenge but not break your running spirit. The weather was a cool and comfortable high 50’s with a little wind. All runners were greeted at the finish line with a custom wine themed finisher medal. All participants received a long sleeve tech shirt and voucher for $10 of food or wine at Gervasi. Winners received custom wine glasses that were quickly filled with Gervasi’s best vintages. If you are a fan of wine and like a scenic backdrop for your running then I highly recommend this race be on your schedule for next year!
