The Napa Valley Marathon and Half Marathon has established a Legacy Program, created to reward our loyal customers and offer a special experience over race weekend. Our Legacy Program begins with tracking participants dating back to 2012, giving us 12 years of history to acknowledge our favorite runners. Runners work their way toward a 5-time or 10-time participant level within the Legacy Program and receive a set of perks based on your current level.  

How can I qualify for the Legacy Program? 

To qualify for the Legacy Program, you can use any combination of full or half marathon registrations dating back to the 2012 event* toward the 5-time or 10-time participant level.  

*Participation in the 2021 Perfect Pairing Virtual event counts toward your legacy total, but 5K registrations do not.

For example:

4 previous NVM events + 2025 registration = 5-time participant level

5, 6, 7, 8 previous NVM events + 2025 registration = 5-time participant level

9 or 10 previous NVM events + 2025 = 10-time participant level

Do I need to opt-in to the Legacy Program?

All you need to do is register for the 2025 event, we do all the rest!  We will send Legacy Program-specific communications as the event approaches and remind you of all your perks and how to use them.
