Director of WNHF, Annika Morris said, “The hospital and its foundation are blessed with the continued support from Wheat State Wine Co. Winfield is lucky to have a business that is so invested in the well-being of the community. This run is such a unique event for the area and brings in visitors that wouldn’t normally travel to our town or support community healthcare.”

The funds will benefit the Second Century Campaign at William Newton Hospital. The Wine-O Trail Run consistently attracts over 300 runners for its 10K and 5K runs and the 2-Mile Walk, including participants from Kansas and surrounding states.

Next year’s run is scheduled for Saturday, May 16, 2020.
