A new start area was introduced in 2006 to accomodate a larger field! This scenic Napa to Sonoma 13.1 mile course starts at Cuvaison Carneros Estate on Duhig Road just off of Hwy 121. Runners congregate in one of the most beautiful start areas anywhere. You'll warm up next to the winery alongside rows of rolling vineyards and a reservoir. Once out of the starting gate, there is a short but steep acsent up Duhig (Butt Burner Hill) and then it’s a beautiful cruise down into the Carneros wine country. Enjoy vistas of the Napa-Sonoma Marshes Wildlife Preserve, San Pablo Bay and Mt. Tamalpais in Marin, as you wind through hundreds of rolling acres of vineyards and wineries. You'll also pass ranches filled with a variety of animals including horses, cows, pigs, sheep, goats, llama’s, chickens and donkeys on your way into Sonoma. You'll finish down Broadway in Sonoma to a throng of cheering spectators leading to the finish line right in front of City Hall. Then its time to enjoy the awards and the popular post-race Wine & Music Festival in the historic Sonoma Plaza. |
