The second day of Napa Valley weekend! What could be better than running 10K or 10 miles on shaded trails in the heart of wine country?

Now in its third year, Calistoga Trail Ramble is a favorite Spring race for people around the Bay Area and for folks looking to travel from across the country. Enjoy a trail-tour of historical landmarks, botanical richness, and rugged terrain for a rewarding trip through the breathtaking Bothe-Napa State Park. In 2017, Scena Performance has added the Napa Valley 50k, a sister race that runs on Saturday making the Calistoga Trail Ramble part of a growing trail festival!

Whether you choose to participate in the 10K or the 10 mile course, cap off your morning exertion with post-race festivities including our unique Scena Performance picnic and lawn games to celebrate your accomplishment and revel in the company of your fellow runners. Bring out the whole family to cheer you on and enjoy all that Calistoga has to offer!”

  • 10K

    Runners on the 10K course will be treated to a fascinating sensation of traveling back through time as the course passes by the historic Hitchcock Homestead site before it winds along a year-round stream shaded by redwoods, firs, and spice bushes. It tackles rocky and steep uphill sections to bring participants to expansive views of the Napa Valley, following single track trails around the high point of the course and back home.

    AID STATIONS

    There will be one aid station for the 10K, located at the intersection of Ritchey Canyon and Redwood Trail (mile 2.3). Aid stations will be stocked with all of your favorite runner fare, including fresh fruit, chips, gels, potatoes and salt, candy, soda, water, sports drink and other assorted goodies.

  • 10 Mile

    The 10-mile course starts out on a rocky single track section along the History Trail, passing the Pioneer Cemetery and the Bale Grist Mill site before looping back up past the start to round out the run along the 10k course.

    AID STATIONS

    There will be two aid stations for the 10-Mile, located at the Start/Finish (mile 3.8) and the Ritchey Canyon/Redwood intersection (mile 6.1). Aid stations will be stocked with all of your favorite runner fare, including fresh fruit, chips, gels, potatoes and salt, candy, soda, water, sports drink and other assorted goodies.

Is there a pre-race packet pickup?

Yes! Visit out friends at Athletic Feat in Napa (3367 Solano Ave, Napa, CA 94558) between 12 and 6 Friday, April 21 and get your bib and welcome info.

I am new to trail running, will I get lost?

The trails are thoroughly marked with ribbons, and each turn will have multiple ribbons along with a sign pointing you in the direction of the turn. There will be no areas where you need to guess. We haven't lost anyone yet!

Are there finisher awards?

NEW this year, we will be offering a special wood-cut medal inspired by our Fall race, Angwin to Angwish. Wear it proudly at the post race celebration! Awards will be given to the top overall male and female finishers and the top male and female age group finishers in 10-yr increments.

Are there things for my family to do at this location?

Bothe-Napa is a great place to bring the entire family. The event is staged near the State Park swimming pool ($6 fee), and the start/finish is located in a shady picnic area where family members can relax under the cool cover of trees, hike along the sun-dappled creek trails, and take part in the post-race festivities. Wineries abound near the park, and downtown Calistoga is just minutes away, offering many hot springs, spa, and restaurant choices.

Can I hike the event?

Yes, we believe everyone should get a chance to experience these beautiful trails, regardless of pace.

Do you need volunteers?

Our races depend on the generous spirit of the running community to ensure every participant is well supported. Volunteers will receive a free entry to a future Scena Performance event. Please fill out the volunteer form for more information.
