The Napa Lapa Trail Adventure

The Napa Lapa Trail Adventure

The Napa Lapa Trail Adventure is a time-based running event held at Skyline Wilderness Park in Napa, California. Unlike traditional races with a fixed distance, participants aim to complete as many laps as possible within a specific time frame. The course predominantly consists of fire roads and moderately technical dirt trails, featuring singletrack sections, long hills, and various descents with significant elevation gain.

The primary loop is 4.16 miles long with approximately 815 feet of elevation gain per lap. During the final 40 minutes of each timed event, a smaller 0.34 mile loop opens to allow runners to maximize their distance before the clock expires. Participants have the flexibility to take breaks between laps as long as their specific race duration is still active.

Available participation options include:

• 12 Hour (Individual and Relay)
• 6 Hour (Individual and Relay)
• 3 Hour

This is a cupless event, meaning no paper cups are provided at aid stations. Runners must carry their own hydration vessels. A full aid station is located at the start and finish area, offering water, electrolyte drinks, and a variety of snacks such as fruit, pretzels, and potatoes. A secondary water-only station is positioned at the 2 mile mark. All participants receive a race shirt and a finisher medal, with specific additional awards for overall winners and age group categories.
