The running
The routes will be mainly on the trails around the estate and vineyards, on a mixture of gravel paths and through grass fields. The routes will be challenging in places but will explore the best parts of the venues.
You'll enjoy four wine tastings en-route to finishing your 10km - definitely not a day for a PB but a lovely way to enjoy a run and the estate. We certainly expect you to run / walk these events and not race them.
(Please note the event is not timed).
