Ready, Set: 4th Annual Napa Valley Silverado Half Marathon

Take in one of the most beautiful locations on earth, while experiencing the spring season in full force at The Fourth Annual Napa Valley Silverado Half Marathon 10K, and 5K, in the Calistoga area, on Sunday, April 19.

Vineyards and wineries with great vistas of the surrounding mountain ranges, including Mt. Saint Helena and the picturesque Palisades, surround these road races’ entire route. The beautiful spring weather and the explosion of blooming wildflowers are a sure treat this time of year.

This exciting event starts and finishes at Calistoga High School, in the heart of Calistoga, in the north end of scenic Napa Valley. Both out-and-back courses start in town and connects with the Silverado Trail (a paved roadway), and then heads south.

The out-and-back run routes retrace themselves back along Silverado Trail and back into Calistoga.

The three courses are primarily flat and fast, with the half marathon route having only two minor hills.

5K Course

10K Course

Half Marathon Course

The finish line for the three distances will be on Calistoga High School’s track. Post event festivities will take place very close to the finish line. All parking will be at the Napa County Fairgrounds, 1435 North Oak Street, in Calistoga, just one block from Calistoga High School (start/finish area).

Most of EnviroSports’ events do not allow headphones, but due to the nature of this course being on the road (not single track trails) and closed to traffic, headphones ARE allowed for this race. Remember, course cut-off time 3.5 hours (this reflects a 16:00min/mile pace for the half marathoners).

AID STATIONS: There will be aid stations on the out-and-back courses, at miles 1.9, 3.8, 5.7, 7.3, 9.2, and 11.1.
