Karla Robertson's thoughts:

I just ran this week yesterday and am already excited to run next year. This was a fantastic half marathon! Here's what I loved:
1) Fantastic course, mostly through the more rural residential areas of Napa. The course took runners through parts of Napa that most tourists don't see, and it's stunning. The rolling hills kept the running interesting.
2) Aid stations with plenty of water every 2 miles.
3) Big enough that I was never running alone, but not too big. The course was not crowded at all.
4) They had pacers for every 5 minutes- at least in the 1:45-2 hour range. Surprising for a smallish race.
5) Easy start/finish with parking and a great location!

And nothing's perfect right? So here's what I didn't like:
1) The shirt is going right to GoodWill. I don't need another cotton blend t-shirt. Particularly for a womens race, I wish we had been given the choice of a technical tank or technical long sleeve, or maybe a hat/visor.
