The shirts and medals have been released for the Napa Valley Half marathon, and I am really enjoying the design of both. The shirts are long sleeve green tech shirts, and coordinate with the medals, both of which show the hills and fields of Napa Valley. My favorite part of the medals has got to be the grapes that flank both sides of the design.

I have read online that in previous years participants have also received bags at bib pickup, so I am hopeful that the trend will continue in 2020.

There are three different race options - a 5k, a half-marathon, and a marathon. Personally, I will be taking on the half marathon, since I want to be able to explore the area after the race, and I would just be too wiped out to do that after a full.

The expo takes place on March 1, 2020, and in addition to bib pickup, there are beer and wine tastings, cooking seminars, and a speaker series - which include Olympian Emma Coburn! For the full expo schedule, visit the event’s website HERE.

Race day is less than a month away, but there is still time to register - and if you use the coupon code “BIBRAVE10” you will save $10 on your race registration.
