Course and features
Both the marathon and half marathon are point-to-point courses that follow the Silverado Trail into Napa. The marathon starts in Calistoga and the half marathon starts at Conn Creek, each finishing in Napa. The routes run past vineyards and wineries and are described as net downhill or mostly flat with gradual rolling hills. The event page notes race-branded items for finishers: a BOCO Gear backpack, a medal, and a T-shirt for the marathon and half marathon; the 5K includes a long-sleeve finisher tee and medal.
Other races and community impact
The 5K is an out-and-back from the finish area and is presented as a Kiwanis Club of Greater Napa event. The page states that funds from the event return to the Napa Valley community and that proceeds help fund college scholarships for Napa County high school seniors and other community donations.
