On 1 March 2026, the 12th annual Livermore Valley Half & 5K returns to California’s original wine country. Runners can choose between the half marathon (21.1 km) or the 5 km course, both starting and finishing in downtown Livermore. The route passes through lush vineyards, hop fields, olive groves, and the scenic Sycamore Grove Park, with occasional gentle rolling terrain and a brief hill section around mile 9. After the finish, participants enjoy a Wine & Beer Festival featuring local wineries and breweries, live music, a custom tasting glass, and commemorative swag. The event blends performance running with community celebration and vineyard scenery.
