Half Corked Marathon & Party at FinishLine

~ OMG TICKETS ON SALE NOW ~

Uncork Together in Oliver Osoyoos Wine Country at the 18th annual Half Corked Marathon on May 28 – 31 2026!

This unique run (route TBD, between 20-24km) weaves participants through the vineyards and valleys of the region’s iconic wine-growing areas, the Black Sage Road and Golden Mile, along with sections along the beautiful Okanagan River. Winery stations dot the route and the Finish Line Party, with the opportunity to engage with the region’s colourful characters as they pour samples for runners to enjoy. As always, creative costumes are encouraged and prizes will be awarded for the best individual costume, best team and best skit.

Half Corked Marathon weekend also includes additional ticketed events such as the Block Party, a casual, and fun dinner experience with live music on Friday May 29th, and Dinner at the Farm, an intimate, elegant multi-course feast on a winery location the evening following the run. Both events include transportation from Oliver and Osoyoos, dinner, wine and entertainment (separate tickets, not included in your race ticket).

Saturday May 30th, 2026

Participants should plan that their wave time could be assigned at ANYTIME on Saturday morning and will have a maximum of 3.5 hours to complete the course.
