Grapest 5K Run

Exercise and drinking combine for this wine-tasting fun run.

Overview

Enjoying a glass of wine might come with a few supposed medical benefits, but having a tipple isn't typically an exercise-heavy pastime. You sit. You drink. You get up, top up your beverage and repeat. You usually don't walk particularly far, let alone run.

At a new series of wine-tasting fun runs about to take place around Australia, however, you'll put in the hard yards before you get the boozy rewards. The Grapest 5K run consists of two sections. First, you sprint, jog or set forth at whatever pace suits you best, making your way through scenic vineyard surroundings. Then, you walk another kilometre — yes, in addition to the first five, or ten if you're feeling extra energetic — while stopping at tasting stations along the way and sampling the good stuff.

Don't worry, if you're not up to the first part and you're simply keen on wandering and sipping, that's an option too. The run will take place on Saturday, June 3 north of Brisbane at Ocean View Estates.
