The Ranch Romp Mud Run is an exciting, fun-filled day for race and fitness enthusiasts who are looking for a new physical and mental challenge. The event, located on the beautiful Pepper Tree Ranch in Hollister, CA., has over 600 acres of undeveloped terrain that will be transformed into 3.2 miles of challenging obstacles, mud pits, water crossings, rope climbing and more!

We will be having a muddy & clean shoe drive. We would like to encourage participants and spectators to bring a few pairs to throw in the pile. The shoes will be recycled or reused by Green Sneakers http://www.greensneakers.org/ All the proceeds from shoe collection will go to Make-a-Wish Greater Bay Area.

It is such a pleasure to share results from the newly updated Wishes in Wine Country event (formerly the Croquet Invitational)! $766,840 in cash and in-kind gifts was raised – a new record for the event! It was an incredible day, made possible by the generosity of corporate sponsors, the event committee, auction donors, numerous local restaurants and wineries, and attendees.

We loved seeing guests lounging courtside in cabanas, showing off their pops of color, honing their skills on the croquet court, sipping and sampling world-class wines from Sonoma-Cutrer, our gracious host, and the event’s other outstanding wineries, and raising paddles high during the live auction. Save the date – Wishes in Wine Country 2014 will take place on Saturday May 17th, 2014.

We invite you to visit this year’s incredibly generous wineries and restaurants that make Wishes in Wine Country possible. Feel free to let them know you appreciate their support of Make-A-Wish!
