Beautiful & well-supported + breakfast!

The Cloverdale Kiwanis Vineyard Races is a true, small-town, runner-focused foot race. You can run a 5K, 10K, or half-marathon. It’s not a wine-tasting event with a race attached to it, as some races in this area tend to be, or a race event that relies on gimmicks — like Disney characters, Halloween-themed costumes, or Tiffany charm necklaces — to reel in runners.
What you get is way more than enough: a beautiful, challenging run through the vineyards, free race photos(!!), and a full breakfast — eggs, pancakes, sausage — from the Kiwanis Club of Cloverdale afterwards! You can also get a freshly poured glass of tasty beer from Bear Republic (based in Cloverdale) which you can sip as you’re being serenaded by a Dixieland jazz quartet. A bunch of round tables were set up at the race end so you don’t have to balance your breakfast on your knees. Thumbs up!
My husband and I ran the 10K and the route had lots of rolling hills. Some parts of the course had loose gravel so you had to be careful running downhill as it was very easy to take a spill (rhyme intended :). The race is well-supported with volunteers handing out water and everyone was clapping and smiling.
The long-sleeved race shirt is very smart — black with the green Cloverdale Vineyard Races on the front and the back of the shirt is blank — which I like. It’s not cluttered with the names of a gazillion sponsors. And the photos were excellent — kudos to the photographer(s), who took pains to capture the best photos of every runner. Very much appreciated. I have nothing negative to say about this race — it’s now my standard bearer for other local races.
I do have just one suggestion: Even though my husband and I were near the start of the race line, we couldn’t hear what the race director was saying through her bullhorn. It would be helpful if she could have spoken into a microphone so more people could have heard her.
I only wish Greg Carter, who started this race, was still here. He started this race to get more kids reading — the race is a fundraiser for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. Unfortunately, he died much too soon in 2021. But his wife, Julie, is now the race director, so many, many kudos to her and every single person involved in this race.

This race is on a narrow, paved trail, so was a little crowded, especially at the start — dodging runners, kids, and dogs. That said, this is a very well-organized, low-key race. Runners start at the Healdsburg Running Company, which organizes this event, and you run up and down paved trails, crossing several streets (many thanks to the volunteers at the intersections who managed car traffic), and ending at the Healdsburg Fire Department, where for for $10, you got the Sweetheart Breakfast — pancakes topped with strawberries and whipped cream, scrambled eggs, bacon, and orange juice. Swag was a fun, red and white truckers hat with ‘Love Run” on it — it actually fits, so I’ll definitely be wearing it. Race registration is only $20 — a fundraiser for the Drew Esquivel Memorial Scholarship Fund; Drew was a Healdsburg local and runner.
Napa Valley Resolution Run 5K/10K

This New Year’s Day race starts at 10 a.m., so if you were out a little too late the night before, this later race time works great! It starts and finishes at the Yountville Community Center. Parking is abundant — both on the street and in local parking lots. The race is on local trails and streets — there is one short uphill at about Mile 3 of the 10K. Water, bananas and orange slices at the end to replenish. Afterwards, there are a number of cafes and restaurants nearby for breakfast. This was my first 10K after years of no running, so it was my slowest 10K by far. Hopefully, next year when I run this race, I’ll be much faster!
