How to enter the ticket lottery for this year's Half Corked wine marathon
The 11th annual Half Corked Marathon is happening on Saturday, May 25, 2019, and while the run itself is months away, your only chance to get tickets is next week.
Because this 18 km fun run through Oliver Osoyoos Wine Country is such a popular event, the tickets are allocated to those on a lottery-style list.
This is the only way to get one of the 1,500 highly coveted spots for the marathon weekend, which has grown to encompass a full two days of festivities including dinners, BBQs, and a concert series.

Participants enjoy the epic scenery of Canada’s most decorated wine region while sampling wines along the route (often while wearing imaginative costumes). The marathon culminates with a party at the finish line complete with food, entertainment, and of course, more wine.
