Calistoga Mountain Run

Join us in Calistoga for the Calistoga Mountain Run—four races that embody the true spirit of mountain running. Whether you choose the 50k, 35k, Half Marathon, or 10k, you’ll experience what mountain running really means: running, walking, and scrambling through rugged terrain, applying the most efficient technique to each section as you climb toward Mt. St. Helena. Each distance offers its own equally challenging and visually spectacular journey through natural mountain landscapes.

Formerly known as Napa Valley Endurance Run, this race is as close as you’ll come to a skyrunning experience in California. The 50k is often talked about as the hardest race around—and for good reason. The 35k delivers skyrunning intensity in a slightly shorter package. The Half Marathon is truly one of a kind: a mountain half that climbs relentlessly through some of the most stunning terrain in Northern California. And the 10k offers a perfect introduction to the demands and rewards of mountain running. This is an incredible challenge, a bucket-list mountain run, not a day trip to the spa. You’ll find the Calistoga Mountain Run to be fulfilling in its own right, the kind of course that sets you up for a great racing year. Broken Arrow, UTMB, and Western States runners all pass through Calistoga Mountain.

UTMB INDEX
