Around the Vines

Mar 2013

What better way to spend St Pat’s Day than taking part in the Round the Vines? For serious runners there is a choice of 21km and 10km runs. For those who are not quite so competitively oriented there are the 21km walk for serious walkers or the 10km walk for those wanting a more leisurely amble. Alternately join with friends as a team and enjoy some fun along the course.

And what a course! Both long and short courses run along the rows of vines, taking entrants through some of Martinborough’s most famous vineyards. These are areas not usually accessible to the public. Join the fun and enjoy the views.

There will be six refreshment stations strategically sited along the course. On offer will be iced water, local wines, water melon and grapes.

Check out the website for further details and the wonderful spot prizes to be won. Entry forms are available on the web site. All proceeds go towards Martinborough School, The event is the school’s major fund raiser, the excellent teaching aids Martinborough school already has is thanks to the proceeds from previous Round the Vines. The funds are always put to excellent use.
