Your Guide to the 101.7 BAY FM Oyster Crawl 5K and Fun Run
When Is It?
The 101.7 BAY FM Oyster Crawl 5K and Fun Run takes place on April 11, 2020. That means you get to greet the spring season by surrounding yourself in the beauty throughout The Dog and Oyster Vineyard, home to over six acres of vinifera and French-American hybrid grapevines as well as our iconic giant corkscrews that are perfect for photo opportunities. The race kicks off at 9 a.m.
Will the Vineyard Be Open?
Yes, it will! You’re welcome to treat your taste buds at SIP, our cozy wine-tasting porch, as well as SLURP, our outdoor restaurant, which will both open at 10 a.m. There’s no better way to reward yourself after your run than with one of our perfect pairings of wine and food. We’ll have special prices during the event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and all race participants even get a complimentary wine ticket!
Where Is the Best Place to Stay Nearby?
In case you didn’t already know, we’re the proud owners of The Dog and Oyster Vineyard as well as The Hope and Glory Inn, and they’re a short walk away from each other! So, you can simply stroll over to our inn and unwind after the event.
Here, you’ll find a variety of luxurious accommodations, including cozy rooms and private cottages with shabby-chic decor. You can go for a refreshing swim in our salt-water pool and indulge in gourmet dinners that are masterfully crafted by Chef Meseret Crockett in our top-rated restaurant. Don’t forget to grab a drink in Detention or from the espresso bar in our lobby after your day of fun in Irvington, VA!
