Both Spicewood Vineyards 1/2 Marathon & 10K start and finish at Spicewood Vineyards and Winery in Spicewood, TX off of Hwy 71 about 40 mins west of Austin and 90 min north of San Antonio. They run along a challenging out and back course along scenic farm roads in Burnet County. There will be 3 fully stocked water stops along the course that will be hit twice (6 stops) each for the 1/2 Marathon and 2 water stops hit twice (4 stops) each for the 10K.
Post race festivities include wine tasting and delicious catered post race food conducive to fine wine tasting. All runners receive a technical shirt and etched wine glass with race logo, and delicious food and wine tasting. We will also have beer for non wine drinkers. This is a BIG bang for the buck!
The Food! A delicious meal with sausage, pork tenderloin, green beans, Italian seasoned pasta salad, pin wheel sandwiches, an array of cheeses, crackers and seedless grapes. Veggie option available.
Special Christmas Costume Contest Division: We will hold judging just before the race near the starting line at 8:15 a.m. and announce the winners after the race during the awards ceremony. Top 5 male and female will receive a bottle of Spicewood Vineyards wine!
The race benefits Team Red White and Blue of Austin. Please be in the Christmas spirit and help us in supporting team RWB from Austin. They do great things for our military veterans.

The course is a bit challenging with all of the hills. I felt it could have been organized a little better. There was one part of the race where they deviated the course off of the road due to running water, and they put pallets down over a creek to cross. I felt it was a bit dangerous, and it significantly slowed my pace having to cross it. Overall, though, it was a good race.
