The Ayama Sunset Christmas Run

About the event

December 12, 2026 marks the enchanting return of the Ayama Sunset Christmas Run, an unforgettable evening celebration at the picturesque Ayama Wine Estate. This year's event offers runners and walkers alike two scenic routes: a 5km sunset run or a slightly longer 10km course, both starting promptly at 18:00. As you make your way along winding vineyard paths under the soft glow of twilight, soak in the serene beauty that Ayama is renowned for.
The evening culminates with an array of festive delights—delicious pizzas and lasagna await to fuel post-run appetites, while live music sets a joyful tone. Don’t forget to dress up in your favorite Christmas outfit; this year’s theme encourages everyone to bring wrapped gifts clearly marked with their recipient's name for that extra touch of holiday cheer during prize giving.
Santa Claus will be on hand to distribute presents to the little ones and loved ones, adding an enchanting element to the festivities. The Ayama Sunset Christmas Run is more than just a race; it’s a celebration of friendship, memory-making, and embracing the festive spirit with those who make your year special. Join us for this magical evening where running meets Italian hospitality and Christmas magic under the stars at Ayama Wine Estate.
