Wine 10K Columbia

National Center for Sports Safety is proud to announce the Inaugural Wine 10K Columbia! This 10K is chip timed and takes runners from the heart of Columbia onto multiple paved greenways and surface streets before returning downtown for the finish at Finlay Park! This event is pending USAT&F certification. Runners and walkers of all paces are welcome and encouraged to participate! 

What is the National Center for Sports Safety? 
The National Center for Sports Safety (NCSS) was founded to educate the youth sports community, making the field of play safer for our youth athletes. Click here to learn more about NCSS...

Why are we the Wine 10K Columbia, you ask? 
In 2016, the National Center for Sports Safety had an idea… to pair something unique, fun and festive with a fantastic 10K course. We decided to partner with International Wines to provide something runners typically love… Mimosas! And voila, the Wine 10K was born in Birmingham, Alabama!  After two successful years in Birmingham, we have decided to expand to Columbia, South Carolina, bringing you a fun and festive 10K, while providing a post-race experience that is second to none!

PLEASE NOTE: In an effort to promote responsible running, hydration stops along the course will provide water and Gatorade ONLY!

CANCELLATION STATEMENT: This event will occur rain or shine, hot or cold. We reserve the right to cancel in extreme circumstances. In that event, there will be no refunds. Entry fees will be considered a donation to National Center for Sports Safety.
