5 Reasons Why You Should Invite Your Man to Participate in the Run4Wine
The Run4Wine started in 2012 as a fun fall race on a beautiful golf course with wine. This event was a huge success right away and continues to grow in popularity each year.
However, we’ve noticed that roughly 81% of race participants are female, meaning only 19% are male. We understand this event may be treated as a ladies night out, enjoying some fitness and fun with friends without spouses or significant others. This event could be fun for the man in your life also.
If you are up for him joining you at the Run4Wine, here are 4 compelling reasons to share with your man that he should participate in this year’s race.
1. With the majority of races being held on the road, this race is exclusively on a golf course with not only spectacular fall views but also fairly challenging, complete with a surprising uphill finish that will make anyone appreciate the craft beer and wine at the end even more!
2. Yes, you heard right…craft beer. Midland Brewing Company will be on site this year offering craft beer tasting. Cha-ching!
3. In addition to the craft beer the food buffet after the race is amazing, a reason alone for any man to participate.
4. To close the deal remind your man that he has better odds of getting in the top three in his age group since the majority of participants are female.
To sum things up, your man should participate with you in the Run4Wine because of the unique course, craft been, awesome food buffet, and a better chance of finishing at the top of his age group.
We hope to see you, and your man, for a great evening at the Run4Wine this October. To learn more about the race or to register, please visit www.run4winerace.com and like Run4Wine on Facebook.
