Sherry Promo 14K 2027

A vineyard race made for enjoying: the Sherry Promo 14K starts at Finca Macharnudo, in the heart of the Marco de Jerez, and finishes in the city centre after passing several wineries. The organiser describes it as a race "of lower physical demand", perfect for discovering sherry country by running, walking or Nordic walking.
