Sandhill Crane Vineyards

Jackson, MI

Imagine a moment in life when all of your favorite things come together as one...friends, running, a beautiful course and a finish in the vineyards that includes, music, cheese and chocolate paired perfectly with…wine. Imagine no more!

Join us in the naturally calming and stunning landscape of Sandhill Crane Vineyards just 20 miles west of Ann Arbor for this summer favorite!

Event includes:  Custom bottle stopper medal, chip timed event, finisher's wine glass, awards eligibility 3 deep in all 5 year age groups and a post-race party with wine tastings, live music and snack pairings!

Half Marathon also includes 1 full glass of wine in addition to wine tastings.

Cellar Slam includes both the event medal and an additional cellar slam medal!

The half marathon will take you from the vineyard to rolling dirt back roads shaded by a tunnel of trees. Much of the course cuts through the wilderness of the Waterloo Recreation Area. The 5 Mile route (5.22 Miles) shares the beginning and end of the beautiful half marathon. The 5K is a dash out to a beautiful gated community and an uphill finish to make sure you earn that chocolate to go with your wine tasting!
