BackCountry Gardens, Ramona CA
Saturday, April 18th, 2026
Be sure to grab your family, friends, coworkers and come join us for one of the most fun filled events in Southern California, the Ramona Wine Country 5k. It takes place at the breathtaking Backcountry Gardens and is part trails with a splash of mud run plus a healthy dose of Mother Nature’s obstacles mixed in for fun. You’ll also find some hills, streams, boulders and much more. Not your average 5K! Everyone can do it as long as you have the drive and determination to keep going, not quit and in the words of Joe Dirt, “keep on keepin’ on."
Oh, and don’t miss out on the Charity Solo & Team Beer Mile after the 5K is finished. All you gotta do is drink 4 beers and run 4 x400 meters Fastest individual or 2-4 person team earns the bragging rights.
Once the fitness is over, you’ve gotta then join us across the road at the award winning Ramona Ranch Winery for a FREE wine tasting, share stories and food for purchase from Farmhouse 78. If you didn’t know, Ramona Ranch is also San Diego’s only Certified Sustainable Vineyard and Winery.
A portion of the proceeds help support the life changing OPERATION REBOUND – FRONTLINE TO FINISH LINE: CAF’s Operation Rebound® program strengthens the mental and physical well-being of veterans, military personnel and first responders with permanent physical injuries by providing them opportunities to use sports and fitness to re-integrate into our communities and by empowering them through sports.
