The enthusiasm for this year’s race has been incredible! General registration for the Marathon and Half Marathon is now SOLD OUT. We are looking forward to welcoming a record number of runners to Napa Valley on March 1, 2026. If you didn’t get a chance to register in time, we are thrilled to share there are still two ways to run the sold out race.
With a minimum donation of financial support (varies by charity), you’ll receive a race entry to the Napa Valley Marathon and/or Half Marathon (some 5K registrations are available as well) and, in some cases, online training and/or other benefits from the charity. It’s the perfect way to do good while doing something you love!
We will be releasing a limited number of special entries in both the marathon and half marathon on December 16th at 8 AM PT on a first-come, first-served basis. There will be 100 entries for the marathon priced at $400 and 100 entries for the half marathon priced at $300. The proceeds from these special entries will directly benefit the Napa Valley Vine Trail, a 47-mile walking and biking trail connecting the entire Napa Valley.
This donation will be in addition to the charitable giving the race already is able to provide to the community annually through scholarships and donations to nonprofits, high schools, sports teams, and service groups.
“Second year running this and it’s high key the best event in the Bay Area! The course is beautiful and goes through wine country – you can watch the sun rise over the vineyards and the fog settle into the valleys. It’s just so scenic and incredible.”
“This is such an awesome race. It was my 4th time running it and I’m already registered to come back a 5th year. The course has such amazing views. It’s an overall downhill but has rolling hills and banking turns which give it a good challenge. Pace groups were awesome, course support was great.”
