Napa to Sonoma Wine Country Half-Marathon
July 18, 2010
Runners World Magazine selected the Napa-to-Sonoma Wine Country Half as BEST FINISH in their 2007 half marathon issue. This summer, Team Challenge is proud to return to this popular and usually sold out event once again.
Participants begin their Zen-like journey in the stunning Napa Valley and travel through the vinyards of the Caneros wine region. This exotic course passes by many of the region's popular wine estates and finishes in downtown Sonoma. After crossing the finish line, participants are greeted with their very own medal and an engraved wine glass so that they may celebrate in style with friends and family at the Wine and Music Festival in downtown Sonoma Plaza.
