From the Organizer

The sixth annual Race to Slow the Pace 5K & 10K, presented in partnership with the John and Jeani Ferrari Family Foundation, to be held at Bokisch Vineyards in Lodi, CA is a trail run to connect people with nature, the environment and family farms that feed them, while furthering California Farmland Trust’s mission. Our goal is to foster a connection to the land and why we must slow the pace of development and protect farmland. Runners will weave their way through the scenic vineyard at Bokisch while taking in the vines, the habitat, and the value of open space that farmland provides. Your participation of the run connects you to the local community and demonstrates your support of agriculture.  This is a family, stroller and pet-friendly event designed to get you out into the beauty of Lodi and a working vineyard.

 

Course: This is a trail run course that includes navigating uneven, dirt terrain with slight hills through a working vineyard.

 

Fees: Individual in-person participation, either 5k or 10k will include a custom race bib, finisher medal, paella brunch, glass of wine (for participants over 21 years old), and signature race swag.

$65 Early Bird Registration fee (until June 30)
$70 Regular Registration fee (July 1 through September 12)
$75 Race Day fee
