TerraVox is always a nice 5k, as it marks the first of three (now 4!) wine runs in the area. Unfortunately two of them are on the same day at the same time, which is horrible planning, but the vineyard operators dictate the time and date, so I’m not faulting the RD or staff for that. Still maybe next year they can sway them a little harder. As someone who does all of them every year (and brings others with me) it’s way less convenient now. Also, these used to be afternoon races which gave everybody more of an excuse to stick around afterwards and drink wine, share stories, mingle and whatnot, but with it moved to 0900 most people were out by 1030 and everybody was gone by probably 11. I’d love to convince them to go back to 1500 because then we could race, have a couple drinks, get some food, really stick around a while (and spend lots of money) so you would think they’d be into it.
The race through the vineyards is always beautiful. The weather was nice so it wasn’t muddy and while it started out with a little chilly wind it shaped up nicely. It snakes back and forth across the property and gives plenty of chances to wave at your friends as you pass back and forth.
The optional hoodie this year is very nice. It’s lightweight and soft. The t-shirt was nice as well (and tag-less). The medal has a cork backing to double as a coaster and has a very classy design on the front. It’s actually nicer than I expected when I heard it was a coaster because I’ve had some mid to low end medals like that, but with the actual medal cover on this one it really comes off as being fitting to display.
I’ve done this race 4 times, and next year will be the fifth.

As I caveated in my other reviews, I love vineyard runs like they are my own race. TerraVox is the first out of three Wine Run events in the KC area and is my personal sign that spring race season is upon us. The swag is the same at all Wine Run events (each year it changes), so here’s your chance to get this year’s medal first. The course can be VERY muddy if it’s been a wet week. I’ve been there for dry and wet races, and let me tell you it’ll add 10% at least to your time. Nobody goes to a vineyard to PR though, so have fun with it like everyone else there and enjoy your free wine at the end with a great high energy crowd and a beautiful view.
