BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The Wineshine Half Marathon and 3.9 Mile run is a new event organized by Kevin Pool and the non-profit organization, Kaiser Permanente Napa Valley Marathon, Inc., scheduled to take place on Saturday, July 16, 2022. The half marathon course begins at the Silverado Resort and runs left on Atlas Peak Road, right on Monticello Road (SR 121), right on Silverado Trail, and continues north on Silverado Trail for 10 miles to the turn-around point at Wapoo Hill Road/Stag’s Leap. It then goes south on Silverado Trail, left on Hardman Avenue, right on Atlas Peak Road, then left into Silverado Resort to the finish line.
The 3.9 mile course will run a counter-clockwise loop around Silverado Resort on Atlas Peak Road, Hillcrest Drive, Westgate Drive, and Atlas Peak Road back to the Resort. Event organizers have coordinated parking with Silverado Resort at two lots on private property off of Atlas Peak Road.
For public and participant safety, the organizers have requested road closures to facilitate running the 13.1 miles with the least amount of inconvenience to the public. All traffic control and road closures will be under the direction of the California Highway Patrol (CHP). Atlas Peak Road from Westgate to Hillcrest Drive will be closed from 7:00 A.M. - 7:20 A.M. Any southbound traffic coming down Atlas Peak will be detoured onto Westgate/Hillcrest. On Monticello Road (SR 121), runners will use the southbound lane, only. Southbound traffic will be detoured onto Vichy & Hagan Roads from 7:00 A.M. - 7:40 A.M. Silverado Trail will be closed between Trancas Street and Yountville Crossroad from approximately 7:15 A.M. - 10:15 A.M. However, runners will be contained in the northbound lane & bike lane, leaving the southbound lane available for the duration for CHP escorted traffic. Hardman Avenue will be closed from approximately 8:00 A.M. - 10:30 A.M., but runners will stay in the eastbound lane leaving the westbound lane open for CHP escorted resident access. Atlas Peak Road between Westgate Drive & Silver Trail will be closed from 8:00 A.M. - 10:30 A.M. Traffic off of Atlas Peak will again be detoured onto Westgate & Hillcrest Drive. The southbound lane between Silver Trail & Hardman Avenue will be available for CHP to meter vehicle access. For the 3.9 mile race, runners will run against traffic in the bike lane/shoulder, leaving Westgate & Hillcrest Drive, and Atlas Peak Road open to vehicles. In the event of an emergency, CHP is present to modify/stop the event as needed to accommodate the particular situation.
There will be four half marathon medical aid stations located roughly 1.5 miles apart and communication will be through the use of cell phones and HAM radio operations at these locations. The medical center, located at the finish area, will be staffed by a minimum of three doctors and nurses, one physical therapist, one medical assistant, plus medical residents.
Special event applications are on file with the Public Works departments in Napa County and with Caltrans. CHP has been contracted to provide traffic control services. An insurance certificate naming Napa County as additional insured is on file.
