I ran Napa to Sonoma as a bucket list race, but to be honest, this race could have killed someone. I’m a late-middle to back-of-pack runner, and by mile 4, the water stops were out of water and there wasn’t water at mile 6 either. I told other runners on the course that if there wasn’t water at mile 8, I was calling 911. Luckily, they had enough water from that point on, but the fact that race day was almost a record high makes that negligence unacceptable.
The course is gorgeous, but the roads are riddled with potholes. However, the local support was amazing, especially the residents who brought out hoses to spray us down and the brewery and winery who has little samples for us along the way.
I won’t run this race again, and I would advise caution to any back-of-packer considering running.
