We are currently assessing and seeking clarification as to the implications of this most recent Health recommendation to not allow participants from outside our region to participate in this event. 

We will make an announcement shortly, but in the meanwhile, if you are from outside the broader Hunter, Newcastle and Central Coast Regions, please hold off entering, until we have clarity.

Regards

Paul Humphreys

We have recently met with local stakeholders of our events and would like to announce that, subject to NO further restrictions being imposed in the Hunter Region, that our events planned for 2020 can proceed with 3 main area of change: READ MORE BELOW

The following are some of the changes we will need to make at upcoming events:

1.Participant numbers will be capped to comply with gathering rules. Enter early.

a. So far as possible, we will offer refunds or transfers for entries if the event does not proceed due to increased restrictions.

2.No-one who is unwell and or from COVID 19 'hot-spots' should attend the event.

3.Social distancing is required (staying 1.5m apart), when gathering at the event.

4.Event areas will be clearly marked with entry and exit points.

It is with regret that we inform you that we must CANCEL the Hunter Valley Winery Running Festival for 2020. After postponing the event we have recently been informed that our venue is no longer available. We have tried to find an alternate venue, but given current circumstances and complexities of the course, it has been impossible. We trust that you will understand that this decision was not made lightly and we wanted to give you as much notice as possible. All existing entries will be either refunded, transferred to another event or credited. You can decide. See below.
