Recurring 5K races near Napa
Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly
BAY FRONT RUN
The Bay Front Run begins and ends on Bayfront Boulevard in Hercules, California, adjacent to the Bay Front Trail. This yearly community race offers a 5K, 10K, 1 Mile Run/Walk, and a Kids Fun Run. The main races commence in the morning, with children’s races scheduled for later. The 5K and 10K are chip-timed and scored, while the shorter distances accommodate walkers, families, and young children.
The course proceeds from Sanderling and Bayfront along Bayfront Boulevard to the Bay Trail entrance at John Muir Parkway. It then follows the trail through Hercules towards Rodeo before a turnaround at the Bay Trail's terminus. The 10K covers this course twice. The event benefits the Hercules Education Foundation. Following the run, the Bay Front Festival features music, food trucks, local businesses, entertainment, and community organizations. Participants registering early receive a race shirt, the first 350 finishers get a medal, and top male and female runners in the 5K and 10K receive awards.
Windsor Marathon, Half Marathon, 10k, 5k & 1 Mile Run
The Windsor Marathon begins and ends at The Island at Pelican Lakes in Water Valley, Windsor, Colorado. The event offers a full marathon, half marathon, 10K, 5K, and a 1 Mile Fit & Fun Run, accommodating marathoners, shorter-distance runners, and children.
The course incorporates golf-course paths, the Poudre River trail, inclines, and single-track dirt trail sections for the marathon. The marathon commences earlier than the other races, with the 1-mile run scheduled for later in the morning. Post-race, participants can enjoy breakfast, beverages, and music at the finish area. The event supports Banner MD Anderson Cancer Center and the Weld RE-4 Foundation.

Coffee enthusiasts! This Coffee Lovers Run is about good vibes. No timing chips, just a stress-free setting to achieve your goals. Your swag, including a medal and shirt, ships direct to your address. Log miles after the race and we'll donate $1 for every mile you do.
2026 SKECHERS Wicked Wine Run Napa Valley Fall Date
The SKECHERS Wicked Wine Run Napa Valley Fall Date is a running and walking event at Sunrise Ranch Winery in American Canyon, near the southern end of Napa Valley. The options are a 5K Wicked Wine Run, a 1K Wine Walk, or a combined option for those wanting to do both. It suits runners seeking a short race and walkers primarily there for the vineyard setting and wine stops.
The courses utilize vineyard properties, with the 1K routed around four wine sampling stations from partner vineyards. The 5K provides finishers a complimentary glass of wine at the finish line. Afterward, the event includes a party with a live DJ, food trucks, additional wine for purchase, and games. Wicked Wine Run organizes it, and participation also supports charity partners.
Reservoir Dogs Trail Run
The Reservoir Dogs Trail Run is an October trail race held at San Pablo Reservoir, located near Orinda in the East Bay. All race distances commence and conclude at the San Pablo Reservoir Visitor Center. Participants can select from 5K, 10K, half marathon, or 35K distances. The event has a participant cap of approximately 300 individuals across all races. Inside Trail Racing organizes this event. The longer distances feature a 6.5-hour time limit, maintaining the structure of a genuine trail race as opposed to a casual reservoir run.
The course's distinctive feature is its complete circuit around Briones Reservoir using EBMUD trails, incorporating segments typically accessible only with permits. Expect a mix of moderately technical dirt paths, open fire roads, undulating hills, wooded single-track, winding single and double-track sections, exposed ridgelines, and expansive vistas of the watershed. The 10K, half marathon, and 35K races involve less elevation gain compared to many other Inside Trail events, allowing for faster times while still providing road runners with a true trail challenge. Aid stations are equipped with gels, trail mix, salty snacks, fruit, Coke, and Stroopwafels; however, participants must carry their own water between stations. Finishers receive a tech shirt and a medal, age-group victors are awarded trophies, and one participant receives the unique "Dead Last Finisher" award. Notably, dogs are prohibited despite the race's name.
Clo Cow Half Marathon, 10K & 5K
The Donut Fun Run 2026!
The Donut Fun Run is a timed, donut-themed 5k at Alameda Point, starting from the Seaplane Lagoon Promenade. It is open to all ages and abilities, accommodating families, casual walkers, first-time 5k runners, and people who still want an official time. The race is in its fourth annual edition, with the setup favoring a community morning and a finish-line party over a competitive racing event.
After the 5k, participants enter a Finish Line Festival centered on donuts and local vendors. The festival features a donut eating contest, donuts from Donut Petit, live music, food and beverage booths, Bay Area craft vendors, a health and wellness expo, and beer and wine for guests over 21. A specific local highlight is The Dancing Donuts, a group from Alameda's Dance/10 studio, performing at the festival and available for photos.
Cloverdale Vineyard Races: 10K and 5K
The Cloverdale Vineyard Races are a 5K and 10K held in Cloverdale, California. The start and finish lines are located at Cloverdale Municipal Airport on Airport Road. This event is organized by the Kiwanis Club of Cloverdale Foundation, serving as both a community fundraiser and a running day.
The course has traversed wine-country terrain, with past runs including routes at Gallo Family Vineyards and over rolling hills that organizers note can be continuously challenging. Current plans utilize Cloverdale country back roads, as the team seeks future vineyard sites. Race proceeds benefit local charitable efforts, such as providing books for children, scholarships, healthy snack programs, and fulfilling requests from teachers and librarians.
Night Nation Run - Sacramento
Night Nation Run - Sacramento is an October fun run in Sacramento focused on music, lights, and a post-race party. The series describes itself as the world's first Running Music Festival, emphasizing a night event where participants wear glow gear and move through a party-style course, rather than a fast road race or a strictly competitive field.
The route features live DJs, bubble zones, light shows, neon, and black lights, leading finishers to a main-stage after-party with headliner DJs. Registration provides a race bib, glow necklace, giveaways, after-party admission, and a T-shirt for Premium and VIP entries. The Night Nation Run community has over 2 million participants globally, and the series partners with Stand Up To Cancer as its official charity.
2026 Winters Spooktacular Fun Run and Costume Contest
The Winters Spooktacular Fun Run and Costume Contest starts and finishes at Rotary Park on Main Street in Winters, California. This Halloween-season run/walk is hosted by the Winters Runners and Walkers Club Charity as part of the three-day Winters Harvest Festival. It includes a 10K, a 5K, and a 1 Mile Kids Monster Dash and adult run/walk. The 10K starts first, the 5K follows, and the 1 Mile event goes later, allowing for both timed runners and families with children.
All routes stay within the city of Winters, making this a local town event. The 5K and 10K are timed, with place awards for the top three men and women in each distance. The 1 Mile is untimed. Finishers receive race bibs, custom tech tees, and medals. 5K and 10K finishers also receive free Hooby's Beverages. Costumes are part of every race, with awards for Best Individual and Best Group in each event. Proceeds support outdoor fitness equipment for Winters Walnut Park, donated to the City of Winters.
USS Hornet Halloween 5k
The USS Hornet Halloween 5k is a 6:30 PM run held during the Halloween season at the USS Hornet Museum in Alameda. It begins after sunset, requiring participants to bring headlamps; lights will also be placed along the course. Costumes are encouraged, and the race supports the museum.
The course is a flat loop around Alameda Point, beginning and ending at the pier. It runs along the estuary shoreline, passes Spirit Alley, and offers views across the bay toward San Francisco. Post-race activities include a beer garden, food, music, and age-group awards. Parking is available at the Hornet and around Alameda Point.
PB&J Fuel Run 5K/10K/13.1 SAN FRANCISCO
The PB&J Fuel Run 5K/10K/13.1 SAN FRANCISCO is a running event in San Francisco offering 5K, 10K, and half marathon distances. Organized by The Best Races, its peanut butter and jelly theme lends a playful tone rather than intense race-day focus.
The event features a relaxed atmosphere. Participants are encouraged to "spread the fun" and approach the day with "no stress, no expectations," running at their own pace. While specific route details are not provided, the race emphasizes feel-good miles, a satisfying finish, and the concept of running your own way.
