Half Corked Marathon

Saturday May 31, 2025 11:00am – 3:00pm

Party at the Finish Line Oliver Community Park

Tickets are sold out for the actual marathon, but there is always a party at the finish line. Admission is FREE at the finish line, and wine can be tasted with a $25 ticket that can be purchased on site.

The Party at the Finish Line is the ultimate celebration at the end of the run and the chance to toast the start of summer with live music, food trucks an artisan market and wine tastings.

The annual Half Corked Marathon is a unique run that weaves participants through the vineyards and valleys of the region’s iconic wine-growing areas, the Black Sage and Golden Mile Benches, along with sections along the beautiful Okanagan River. Winery stations dot the route, with the opportunity to engage with the region’s colourful characters as they pour samples for runners to enjoy. 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 Primavera Party, a casual, long table dinner with live music on Friday May 30th, 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). All tickets can be found on this page here.
