Hey Rene!
The sun was shining in Osoyoos this morning and it was a great day to drink wine and drink wine and drink wine.....oh and run :) As you can see from the photo, Peter Pan and Captain Hook were at the race! We were also very excited to see the grape lady there too - so we had to get a picture with her. The race had a great spirit - there was 250 runners between the ages of 19 & 69!! Over half of the runners dressed up and there was a costume parade before the race started.
The terrain was gorgeous with about half the race being on trails through the vineyards - Stace and I were really pleased with that as we are not much for road runners. We didn't have to run far between wine tasting stations :) The maximum distance was 5km which was the last leg of the race. The rest of the race there was wine stations every 1.5 - 3 kms. Mmmm, wine.
Stace and I definitely enjoyed the fun atmosphere of the race. With 6 wine stops we ran the 17.7km in 1h50min. Our "Disney" team ran the race together and had to take some breaks for the princesses - they don't like running hills :)
All in all it was a great experience - we definitely had our fill of wine and we can wait to work on our costumes for next year!!
Dani, Stace (& Chips)
