It is always a sold out event for a reason. First of all it is Napa County. It is an ultimate runcation. I love the camaraderie of this race. Local or tourist they are all friendly and nice. The expo is nice but small unlike the L.A. races but being outdoors is different rather than some races in convention center.

Weather was perfect. Hilly is ok. It is wine country. But there's a lot of uneven paves. It doesn't matter to me. If I can run a trail then I can definitely do this. I just love the whole vibe. You have to do the wine tasting if you are doing this race. It is worth it. But just like any other race there is a time limit. So you have to plan accordingly depending on your time so you can take advantage of the activities.
