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!
