Napa Valley Marathon

The Napa Valley Marathon is a classic point-to-point road race that runs straight through the heart of Northern California wine country. The course begins up-valley in Calistoga, then follows the Napa Valley floor past towns like St. Helena, Rutherford, Oakville, and Yountville, before finishing in the City of Napa (the marathon course map shows the start in Calistoga and the finish in Napa at Vintage High School).

It’s known for a scenic, mostly downhill-leaning profile early on, long vineyard-lined stretches, and a strong “destination race” vibe that pairs well with a weekend of tastings, restaurants, and sightseeing in Napa Valley. Race weekend typically includes both a full marathon and a half marathon, and the event has long been associated with major community participation and local support.
