Orchard Country Sponsors Sohm in Half Marathon

Lautenbach’s Orchard Country Winery & Market is sponsoring their public relations assistant, Kendra Sohm, in the Door County Half Marathon on Saturday, May 7, 2011.

Sohm has been using Orchard Country’s tart cherry juice, tart cherry concentrate and dried cherries in her diet to prevent and relieve muscle soreness quicker.

“We are proud to sponsor her. It’s been a great experience to team together and have our employee recognize the benefits of tart cherries firsthand,” said Carrie Lautenbach-Viste, co-owner.

This year, Sohm hopes to improve her time from last year’s attempt at the half marathon. “I’m athletic, but long distance running is a challenge for me,” she said. “So I’m determined to run it again.” Her training blog, “Cherries: Good for You in the Long Run,” can be found on Orchard Country’s website, http://www.orchardcountry.com.

On race day an informational booth will feature samples of Orchard Country’s tart cherry products and a complimentary health benefits brochure sponsored by the Wisconsin Cherry Growers.

Lautenbach’s Orchard Country Winery & Market is located at 9197 Highway 42 in Fish Creek. The winery and market is currently open from 10 am – 4 pm daily.
