Hallowine Run

The Hallowine Run (formerly Healdsburg Wine Country Half Marathon) originated in October of 2008 after Destination Races founder Matt Dockstader attended the world-renowned Marathon du Medoc in France. His vision was to create a wine harvest themed race in one of America's most iconic wine regions – with the flair and flavor he witnessed at the Medoc event. Held annually on the Saturday of Halloween week, the event has become a favorite on the national and local running scenes. The event offers pre and post race hospitality events for participants and their guests, a stunningly beautiful autumn colored 13.1 mile course, and the perfect post-race festival featuring a laid back, yet festive, atmosphere featuring exhibits, popular wineries, food, breweries, musicians, and the highly entertaining runners costume contest.

The half marathon starts at Francis Ford Coppola Winery and runs through from the Alexander Valley to the Dry Creek Valley, finishing at the expansive Warm Springs Recreation Area below Lake Sonoma for the festival. The Hallowine 10K starts at Martorana Family Winery and merges into the half marathon course at mile seven. The Hallowine Run is a special run in a uniquely beautiful place, celebrated by people with a zest for life, purpose and happiness.
