The Spring Hops 5K is a cross country race held at the Red Shedman Brewery. The course is similar to the Striders’ Run Through the Grapevine 8K, which is held at the same site. The scenic and challenging course loops through the grounds of the grapevines of the winery and hop yards of the brewery. All finishers get one sample of a Red Shedman beer, a commemorative beer glass, and a race premium.
