Napa Half Marathon
The event takes place October 4, 2026, in the rolling hills of east Napa with start and finish inside Skyline Park. The courses run along vineyard lined, rustic roads through local neighborhoods and countryside; deer are commonly seen along the route. The race is hosted by Athletic Feat and is chip timed by SVE Timing.
Distances:
- 13.1 mi. Half Marathon
- 6.55 mi. Quarter Marathon
The Half Marathon follows a counterclockwise loop using 4th Avenue, 3rd Avenue, North Avenue, First Avenue, Coombsville Road, Olive Hill Lane and Hagen Road, then returns to Skyline Park. The Quarter Marathon follows the half route for one loop before returning to the park. The course is fully paved except for the first and last 80 meters on hard packed dirt and gravel. The route was measured with a Jones Counter and multiple GPS devices and is not USATF certified.
On-course support includes mile markers at each mile, marshals and police at key turns, lead bikers with runners running against traffic, and pacers for the Half Marathon with target paces from 1 hour 40 minutes up to 3 hours. Aid stations will offer water, electrolyte drink and pretzels near miles 2, 3.5, 4.7, 7.5 and 10, with emergency water near mile 11.5. Portable toilets are positioned at miles 2.5, 5.2 and 8.8; toilets are also available at the start and finish.
Finishers of the Half Marathon receive a bottle of Napa Valley wine and all finishers receive a custom medal. Overall winners and top age group finishers earn prizes, including a shoes prize for overall winners. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
