For those doing/considering Napa

This is a pretty good deal if you golf (although I don't know how that would work with a marathon as well!). Pretty close (need to drive though) to the finish line/bus pickup to the start. Good idea for a non-running significant other as well. I didn't see anything about weekends excluded.

I was thinking winery tours the night before the marathon?

If I go I am running it for fun so no pressure to "perform". Maybe I'll run with a bottle of red & bottle of white. Double fisted!

I have to admit, that is the biggest disappointment of the Napa Marathon. No impromptu aid stations serving up wine. I don't ever recall being served a glass at the finish either.

In the Napa to Sonoma half I did a couple of times a while back there was some guy pouring wine (but it was red, not white - red wine on a hot summer day at mile 7 or 10 or whatever is not my fav!) and finisher got a wine glass and tickets to sample the areas libations.
