This was a easy 5K course nestle in the wine vineyards San Martin, CA hills at Clos La Chance Winery. This was a 5K with no other race distances offered. The course wrapped around the vineyards that were loaded with grapes. The scenery was spectacular and the access to the winery grounds made me feel fabulous. The race theme was ‘Greek or Toga wear’. So there was a lot of sparkling togas and head bands. The race started on time at 9:15 AM, which in September it made for a hot start. There was one water station at mile one. Medals were issued to the top 3 winners in age divisions. There were no finishers medals. The ‘swag’ was nice…. a cotton tshirt, a wine glass, and each participate 21+ received a wrist band with four tab that allowed them four 1 once wine tasting opportunities of which I passed on. The race directors invited everyone to bring a picnic lunch etc. to spend an afternoon there on the winery grounds. I certainly recommend this race to others. Since we were not instructed not to sample the grapes while on the course I must admit did taste them and they were deliciously sweet.
