Highlights include soft-style shirts*, finisher medals, a complimentary drink, and post-race refreshments! For our faster competitors, we also offer overall/age-group awards!
The Glühwein Gallop 5k draws its name from the German word Glühwein (pronounced 'glue vine', and translated to "glow wine"). This delicious mulled wine is served warm in lots of different flavors!
