Thirteen miles through the Northern California wine country await runners at the Napa Half Marathon, which is sure to become a fall bucket list race for many a runner thanks to its gorgeous views of the vineyards all around and the complimentary bottle of wine included in each race packet pickup.
You’ll enjoy a double loop route with plentiful rolling hills at this race, which starts and finishes at Skyline Wilderness Park, just to the east of downtown Napa.
From there, runners make their way along 4th Avenue and then 3rd Avenue. Between the 3rd and 5th mile marker along 3rd Avenue, runners will have an opportunity to pass by many small vineyards and wineries as they make their way north. Views of the Napa Valley Country Club will be a gorgeous site along the the 4th mile.
