Run a 5K out at Caesar Creek Vineyards! This event is organized by Kerianne Gross to aid in reaching her goal to raise $4800 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society through Team in Training.
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s mission is to fund research to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease, and myeloma, as well as to improve the quality of life of patients and their families. Since its inception, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society has invested over $1 billion in research to advance therapies and save lives. In this time the rate of survival from blood cancers has quadrupled as a result of scientific advancements in therapies to combat these diseases.
The Individual Ticket includes 1 running entry, 1 wine tasting, and 1 bottle of wine. The Couples Ticket includes 2 running entires, 2 tastings, and 1 bottle of wine. For those under 21 or deciding not to partake in the wine, a discounted price is available for the race only. Depending on ticket option purchased, $10-$15 goes to support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Donation amount will appear on Kerianne's fundraising website within 1 week of the event: http://pages.teamintraining.org/vtnt/corps16/KGross

Race starts at 5:30 pm rain or shine! We will be onsite 1 hour prior for check in (but if you don't make it before, you can check in after the race to pick up your tasting and wine bottle tickets). If you can't make it at the last minute, 100% of your registration fee will be donated to LLS. Be sure to bring an ID! After the race enjoy a tasting of award winning wines from Caesar Creek Vineyards and take home a bottle ! You are welcome to bring food, or enjoy cookies or cheese and crackers for a donation to Kerianne's fundraising campaign to Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
The course is a little hilly and partially through grass between vines, so wear appropriate shoes!
