What is the Wine Run?
The Wine Run Rioja Alavesa is a sporting, gastronomic, and cultural event held since 2016 in different towns of Rioja Alavesa. After passing through villages like Laguardia, Labastida, and Elciego, its eighth edition will take place on Sunday, October 26, 2025, in Oyón-Oion.
The event features two races of 10 and 20 kilometers, along with a 10 km non-competitive walk through vineyards and wineries during the heart of autumn, when the landscape is at its most spectacular after the harvest. There’s also a lively Wine Fair open to participants and their companions, offering tastings, food, and live music.
Participants in the walk will receive a wine glass with a holder when they collect their bib, which they can use along the route to sample wines from local wineries. Those taking part in the races will receive their glass at the finish line. All registrants will also receive the official event T-shirt, a goodie bag, and free tickets for the Wine Fair.
Registration is exclusively online. Minors may accompany adults on the walk without registering, though they will not receive a bag or related services.
