The Paso Robles High School Athletic Boosters hosted the 4th annual event this year with the help of The Rotary Club of Paso Robles, the event’s creator and former host. The boosters merged the event with the Paso Robles High School Athletic Boosters annual Wine Vine Run.

Participants made several positive comments on the race: “Beautiful course! Thanks for the great run and last minute registration this morning!”, “Sunrise over the vines? Epic! Thank you!”, “The race was awesome.”

The day’s events included a full marathon, half marathon and a 5k run. All proceeds from the event benefit the Paso Robles High School Athletic Department. Athletic Director Tom Harrington said, “We have almost 700 student-athletes at Paso Robles High School and budget cuts in the past few years have made it difficult to keep our programs going. Our goal is to help students learn the skills necessary to succeed in life. The Paso Robles Harvest Marathon will contribute to helping us achieve that goal”.
