About the Event

Raise a glass and your heart rate at the legendary Bacchus Wine Half Marathon & 10K, a celebration of running and English wine at Denbies Vineyard on Sunday, 13 September 2026. This is no ordinary race; it's a fabulous fancy-dress party on the trails of Surrey's stunning North Downs, where the drinks stations serve award-winning English wine (and soft drinks) alongside food and live music. Choose your distance: conquer the undulating Half Marathon with six wine-tasting stops or enjoy the scenic 10K with three stops, both offering breathtaking views over the Mole Valley. Every runner over 18 receives a commemorative medal and a ticket to the epic post-race hog roast party, with Half Marathon finishers also earning a technical t-shirt. Perfect for groups of friends and those seeking a unique, festive challenge, it’s the most joyous and indulgent event on the UK running calendar, where the finish line is just the beginning of the celebration.
