New Expo and Dinner Location
We've moved our expo to Cornerstone Gardens in Sonoma. This eclectic collection of shops, wineries, and a gourmet cafe set amidst nine acres of cutting-edge landscaped gardens. Not your ordinary expo venue, this truly unique site is certainly more intriguing than your typical expo hall or hotel ballroom. Plan to stay and visit the gardens, shop, wine taste and meet other runners from across the county as you wander the site. And don't miss out out on the race dinner prepared with locally grown produce, fresh pasta and other healthy fuel for your body. The dinner is held in the Pavilion at Cornerstone and also features a special guest speaker and the race director giving tips on what to expect on race day. More information
