We are excited to announce that the local charity partner for this event is Loving Care Cat Rescue!

Loving Care Cat Rescue Mission: To provide loving care to every cat that comes through the rescue, regardless of their circumstances or medical condition; and actively seek a permanent home for each cat/kitten rescued. Unless serious illness would warrant, euthanasia is not an option for cats in the care of Loving Care Cat Rescue. Loving Care Cat Rescue is a rescue organization that never puts a price tag on the lives of the cats we save. We provide medical treatment, regardless of the cost, as long as the result is a safe and healthy future for our cats. A lofty goal for sure, however, we have never wavered from this goal. Loving Care Cat Rescue is celebrating 6 years of service to the community and the cats and kittens that need us. I am pleased to report that we have saved 3,341 local cats and kittens as an all-volunteer rescue over these six years. Sadly, the need for what we do is greater than ever, and the impact on our funds grows exponentially.

Absolutely!  We have been getting many inquiries about virtual participation and have integrated a virtual option into our regular registration.

Please feel free to register through the regular registration link above and you can either: 

1) Pick up packet during packet pickup or on the morning of the race, but run on your own (hint:  wine ticket is still good if you use this strategy)

2) Contact us at any time to switch to the Haunted Wine Run Virtual Race and we'll ship your packet (There will be a $10.00 shipping and handling charge for this option)

Also, if you intend on running, but later change your mind and would like to do either of these options, that's ok too!  If you are definitely going to have us ship your packet and run virtually though, we do recommend you follow the instructions below:
