THE DREAM

About 2026 Napa Fall Wine Country Marathon, Half Marathon, 10K, & 5K — what makes it special

ABOUT THE RACE

A day you'll remember,
long past the finish line.

Picture the course in advance
and find the pace that fits you.

When the city cheers

Streets lined with cheers, runners all around.
You'll be part of that scene.

The trip that follows the run

and meet the city all over again.
