Mocko And Crosby-Helms Winners
At Kaiser Permanente Napa Valley Marathon
On a calm bright morning, almost ideal for marathon running, Chris Mocko, 25, of San Francisco, Calif., and Devon Crosby-Helms, 29, also of San Francisco, emerged as victors at today’s 34th Annual Kaiser Permanente Napa Valley Marathon. Mocko successfully defended his men’s title from last year. Crosby-Helms scored her second win at the Napa Valley Marathon (NVM). She also won the race in 2007. A sell-out crowd of 2,500 marathon entrants raced through the scenic Napa Valley wine-growing region as colorful air balloons hovered overhead and mid-day temperature reached the middle 70s.
NVM Acknowledged
The Napa Valley Marathon has been long been acknowledged as a premier destination event. Two new voices add their support to this sentiment. Forbes Magazine declares the NVM as one of the "Top 10 Marathons Worth Traveling For" and Bob Anderson's UjENA Fit Club identifies the NVM as one of the "Top 100 Road Races in North America".
