All the runners will have a chance to taste various kinds of wine at the chateau-stops located along the 5 km route. This is a costume run, so the special present will go to the participant with the most original costume. The winner of the run will get a lot of wine, naturally. However, the weight of the wine will be equal to the winner’s body weight. Prior registration is required to take part in the Wine Run.
