Run The Vines is a series of trail runs that started in March 2015 when the owner of Onsite Events decided to host events that will encourage family and friends, young and old to have a healthy lifestyle by taking part in events that will accommodated all fitness levels.

The fact that the novice runner to the more serious runner can run with family and friends on a different wine farm every month while enjoying the good food, wine, hospitality and music after their run, surely contributes to the success of the series.

This year's series will consist of 12 runs. Runners must run all 12 events. You have one option to mis an event. The one that you mis can be replaced by any other Run The Vines event that Onsite events will be hosting. 

Runners can downgrade to any distance at any time but will have to pay the difference should they wish to upgrade.
