Mocko and Herron Victors at Kaiser Permanente Napa Valley Marathon
NAPA, Calif. — March 6, 2011 — Chris Mocko, 25, of Palo Alto, Calif., and Camille Herron, 29, of West Lafayette, Ind., registered victories today at the 33rd Annual Kaiser Permanente Napa Valley Marathon. For Mocko, the day was particularly memorable. His victory, in 2 hours, 27 minutes, and 2 seconds, came on his 25th birthday as his father, Paul, watched from the finish line. Herron led the women's race from wire to wire and recorded a finish time of 2:42:20. Periodic rain showers and moderate headwinds dampened an otherwise mild day for the sellout crowd of 2,400 marathon participants, but it did not damper their enthusiasm as they raced through the scenic Napa Valley wine growing region.
