Napa Wilderness Trail Runs
The Napa Wilderness Trail Runs take place at Skyline Wilderness Park in Napa, California on May 15, 2027. The event is organized by Bay Trailrunners and offers multiple trail race distances with on-course aid stations and park camping nearby.
The course includes new segments through Napa Open Space and the longer routes climb the Rim Rock Trail, offering wide valley views and sightlines toward Mount Diablo, Mount Tamalpais, and Mount Saint Helena. Course maps and Strava routes are provided; final maps may change due to park or permitting requirements.
Distances and basic course data:
- 50K : 32.4 miles, ~6,700 ft elevation, cutoff 10 hours
- 30K : 18.2 miles, ~4,000 ft elevation, cutoff 8 hours
- 21K (Half Marathon) : 13.9 miles, ~2,600 ft elevation, cutoff 6 hours
- 10K : 6.1 miles, ~1,300 ft elevation, cutoff 4 hours
Logistics: the $6 park parking fee is included with registration for runners; runners must enter via the South Gate overflow lot while spectators use the main gate and pay the parking fee. Runner check-in and bib pickup open one hour before each race, and a mandatory race briefing occurs ten minutes before each start. This is a cupless event; runners must bring their own cup, bottle, or hydration system. Aid stations are spaced roughly every 5 to 9 miles, will serve packaged food, and provide hydration products such as Skratch, Cure, and GU. There is no on-course bathroom; porta-potties are at the start/finish. Runners are responsible for their own transport from the course if they drop and should plan for a longer water-only section on the 30K and 50K.
