The Napa Valley Marathon boasts one of the most beautiful courses in the world. The course runs the length of the Napa Valley. It begins in Calistoga, famous for its geysers, and winds south along the historic Silverado Trail to finish at Vintage High School in Napa. Except for the last half-mile, the entire course is rural. Runners are treated to panoramic views of the valley, flowering fruit trees, and dormant vineyards carpeted with golden mustard flowers.
Dedicated to fostering and promoting quality road racing, the Napa Valley Marathon is known as the “biggest little marathon in the West.” The Napa Valley Marathon has earned a reputation for outstanding runner support, attention to detail, and a beautiful point-to-point course. In its January 2002 issue, Runner’s World Magazine named the Napa Valley Marathon one of the Top 20 Marathons in the U.S.

This is a beautiful race through vinyards and beautiful scenery. The course is mostly flat with a few rolling hills. It is relatively small which makes for an easy run. It feels more like a training run than a competative race. It's well planned, and full of friendly faces. Not the largest group of spectators but they are definately loud and full of spirit, when they see you. The course is on fairly level pavement for most parts and traffic is controlled in one direction only. At the finish line, warm food and warm showers await you. I always seem to get a new PR whenever I run this one. It is one of my favorites for many reasons.
