Aram plays Fueled By Wine Race

Dundee Billick Park, 320 SW 5th St, , Dundee, OR 97115

Ranked as one of the top half marathons in the country, the Fueled By Fine Wine is a race like no other. Sure, there are wine-focused races. Sure, there are beautiful courses. But nowhere will you find the combination of world-class wine tasting and a one-of-a-kind course snaking across gorgeous vineyards and vistas. Rooted in the Dundee Hills, the FBFW actually traverses the wineries and hills that make up the heart of our tasting tent. You will be CHALLENGED by the hills and tough terrain but REWARDED by the wine! The course features a mix of dirt, grass, gravel roads, and hilly country roads as you weave your way across some of the most acclaimed vineyards in the Northwest. If you like flat road courses, this race is not for you. If you love challenging yourself, amazing wine, and creating a memory that will last forever with your friends, this is for you! Wine tasting: Yes, this is the whole reason we’re out here! A star-studded lineup of DHWA wineries will be serving you wine under individual tasting tents throughout the park. Take your commemorative wine glass and choose the wineries you have always wanted to test. Have a friend or loved one that doesn’t run? Not a problem! You can acutally buy a separate tasting ticket for $40 (valued at over 3 times that amount) and they’ll get a commemorative glass and all the wine tasting too! NOTE: Due to the dynamics of planning in a post-COVID world, confirming certain details like participating wineries is not always possible until shortly before the race. While we have a star-studded list already confirmed, many others are still working diligently to find staffing and scheduling in an evolving industry. If you would like to find out if a specific winery will be present, please don’t hesitate to reach out and we can let you know if they are on the list! Thanks for your patience! THE SWAG: Cute shirts, commemorative wine glass, huge beautiful medals, commemorative bibs and chip timing, and amazing wineries to taste from post race! What else would you expect from this summer Dundee Hills tradition. THE COURSE: Racing across nearly a dozen PRIVATE vineyards is an experience like no other. It is a VERY challenging race with LOTS of up and down and lots of gravel, dirt and grass in addition to country roads. But the views and ability to be UP CLOSE to such amazing vineyards before tasting the wine that comes from those grapes is an experience like no other. Bring your trail shoes, be prepared for hills, and bring your camera! VIRTUAL: Can’t make that date? Not a problem! Do the race on your own from July 18th to July 24th and you’ll get the medal, the shirt, the commemorative bib, and a punch card with free wine tasting to use over the next year! It’s an amazing deal and allows you to visit Oregon wine country during the time that fits your schedule best!
