The story

Nocturne Night Run at Chateau Purcari in Purcari

Nocturne Night Run at Chateau Purcari is an evening race through the historic Purcari winery in Moldova's IGP Stefan Voda wine region. The 2026 edition took place June 20 at 5pm, offering 10km, 20km and a 5km Fun Run across the estate's vineyards, forests and along the Dniester River, paired with music, wine and food once runners cross the finish line.

Wine estates and running events do not typically share the same afternoon, but Chateau Purcari has built exactly that combination into Nocturne Night Run, sending competitors through its own vineyards rather than confining the race to a parking lot or a nearby park.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Running through an active vineyard estate rather than closed city streets is what sets Nocturne Night Run apart, sending competitors along paths that wind through Chateau Purcari's own vines, forested sections and a stretch beside the Dniester River rather than paved urban roads

02

The mystery stays covered

Locating the race in the IGP Stefan Voda region ties the event directly to one of Moldova's recognized wine-producing areas, giving the run a terroir-specific identity distinct from a generic countryside jog

03

The city starts moving

Offering three tiers, a 5km Fun Run, a 10km and a 20km, lets both casual participants and serious runners take part on the same estate on the same evening

04

The water draws everyone in

Finishing the race with music, wine and food turns the event into a full evening rather than a stop-and-leave race, rewarding effort with the winery's hospitality
