Run the Parkway Below are your final pre-race instructions. Please be sure to review all the details below for essential race day information! This race is produced in partnership between the Sacramento Running Association and the American River Parkway Foundation and is the Official Training Run of the California International Marathon! It is Sacramento’s only race that 100% benefits the Parkway Foundation, as this year’s event has raised over $30,000 (over $185,000 since the event started in 2016) to benefit the American River Parkway Foundation and help it further its mission of supporting the preservation and enjoyment of the Parkway, the "crown jewel" of Sacramento Parks. Run the Parkway is the Sacramento running community's chance to give back and help maintain this treasured training venue.
