The Great Glasgow Winethlon is scheduled for Sept. 24, and organizer TeamOA said hundreds of people have already registered for the 6-1/2-mile race, which will feature wine stations every two miles.

Each wine station will represent a different wine region from around the globe. "We want to put the fun back into running and prove that you don't have to be an elite race snake," Wane Law, managing director of TeamOA, was quoted as saying by The Sun. "We've run previous events and the people who are doing the races are not diehard runners, it's people bringing picnic blankets and making a day of it," he said. "We are capping entries at 600 this year to ensure we can run a safe event and it means people will be desperate to take part next year."
