I spectated this race in 2016 and signed up for the 2017 race on site. The medals were amazing (functional for wine lovers!), and you get a comemorative wine glass upon finishing, with tents for trying local wine and beer, plus so many people around (not in a super-crowded way) and nearby restaurants celebrating. Great community event.
I live near the course and train on it often, both because it’s beautiful and challenging. The race itself felt pretty accessible as far as the expo, starting line situation, etc. It was very easy to jog to the start from home (though there are large lots and a deck for parking) and immediately find where to check my gear back. Gear check for dry clothes after the race was close to the finish line and also very easy to access. Really no reason NOT to do this race!
I felt like I was in shape to run close to my PR on a comparable course, but was two minutes slower than PR, which I largely attribute to course difficultly. The middle uphills miles were tough!
