Just as a heads up, we are ahead of our sign up rate from last year, and I expect registration to close by the end of April. I hope you are all staying healthy, doing what you can to flat...ten the curve, staying positive, and keeping fit so you are ready to come out and get dirty with us on May 30th! https://runsignup.com///SoCalWineCountryWomensHalfMarathon

With everything going on in the world right now I want you all to know that I take the health and safety of you, our runners, very seriously! We are paying close attention to what the CDC and the state of California are recommending in order to help flatten the curve of the spread of this disease. Keeping that in mind, as of right now the event is still on and I hope you all are continuing to train and stay excited. With a little luck we'll get to celebrate a great many thin...gs when we get together for our dirty, running party on May 30th! We are working on a few alternatives if shutdowns and restrictions affect the event but no matter what happens we'll do everything we can to take care of you and make it an epic experience for everyone! https://runsignup.com///SoCalWineCountryWomensHalfMarathon

We're excited to welcome a new partner for 2020! Ladies, meet Suewkerz! CAZA/Suewerkz will be on site on race day with some awesome apparel for you to check out and they have a great discount code you'll be receiving in your registration emails. CAZA is a lifestyle brand blended together when two souls with different backgrounds from very distinct parts of the world realized we all love one thing - SUEWKING! (The Definition of Suewking: the art of relaxing by a Suewker with ...other Suewkerz around a campfire, ocean, river or lake while imbibing one's favorite alcoholic beverage). We are fortunate enough to have a very good group of friends who love to camp and enjoy many occasions together. The term Suewking refers to hanging out together and enjoying one’s favorite beverage with your friends. Have you ever found yourself in the worst possible surroundings, but with your close friends and a couple of beers life couldn’t be better? With the CAZA Collection of brands, we are creating a style which represent all those friends and families out there who love the outdoors, whether that’s the beach, lake, river or desert. We strive to create catchy phrases and conversation-starter shirts. https://www.cazacollections.com//Suewkiez-Sweat-Now-Suewk-
