The Inaugural Napa Valley Silverado Half Marathon & 5K

The Inaugural Napa Valley Silverado Half Marathon

Take in one of the most beautiful locations on earth, while enjoying the spring season in full force at The Inaugural Napa Valley Silverado Half Marathon & 5K, in the Calistoga area, on Sunday, April 22.  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 new event starts and finishes at Palisades 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 K5 turnaround point is just before Pickett Road, with the half marathon’s located at Crystal Springs Road.  Run routes retrace themselves back along Silverado Trail and back into Calistoga.  Both courses are primarily flat and fast, with the half marathon route having only two minor hills.   The finish line for both distances will be on Palisades High School’s track.  Post event festivities will take place very close to the finish line.

There will be route aid stations at the following mile markers: 1.9, 3.8, 5.7, 7.3, 9.2, and 11.1.
