More Than a Race
The Wine Half Marathon – Napa Edition is designed as a full sensory experience that blends movement, landscape, and celebration.
From private vineyard roads to festive on-course moments and a joyful finish-line gathering, every element is crafted to reflect the spirit of Napa Valley. This is a race where runners are guests — welcomed into vineyard spaces typically reserved for winemaking — and encouraged to slow down just enough to take it all in. Whether you’re running, cheering, or celebrating afterward, the experience extends far beyond the miles.
Experience a Half Marathon like no other.

Private Vineyard Access
Runners will experience Napa Valley in a truly unique way — running through private vineyard roads and winery properties not typically open to the public.
These quiet, scenic routes offer uninterrupted views of vines, rolling hills, and working wine estates, creating a rare and intimate connection with the landscape. This access transforms the race into something special: a chance to experience Napa from the inside, on foot, alongside fellow runners and wine lovers.
On-Course Experiences
Along the course, participating wineries bring the route to life with festive, high-energy aid stations.
Music, cheering teams, and creative touches turn each stop into a moment of encouragement and joy, keeping runners energized and smiling from start to finish. These experiences are designed to celebrate community and hospitality — Napa-style — making every mile feel like part of the celebration.
Inspired by Marathon du Médoc
The Wine Half Marathon draws inspiration from the legendary Marathon du Médoc in France — a race known worldwide for its joyful blend of running, wine, costumes, and celebration.
While the Napa edition is thoughtfully reimagined with a California sensibility and a half-marathon format, it carries the same core philosophy: running should be fun, communal, and deeply connected to place.
