Ready for a 13.1-mile run that starts at the peaceful, relaxing grounds of a winery and then unfolds out into a wilderness area filled with forests, hiking trails, fishing lakes and campgrounds? That’s what you’ll get to experience at the Running Between the Vines Half Marathon, which welcomes nearly 3,000 runners each year.

Start at Sandhill Crane Vineyards. The race will take you on an out-and-back course that starts and finishes at the Sandhill Crane Vineyards, a family-owned winery that offers a beautiful backdrop for the race start, with wine grapes in the fields surrounding the tasting room center on the property. From there, you’ll head out onto what is roughly a clockwise figure-eight-shaped loop through the Waterloo Recreation Area, starting with a downhill stretch in the first mile followed by ups and downs throughout the rest of the race. And of course, there will be a glass of Sandhill Crane wine waiting for you at the finish line when you’re done.
