Running groups from the Sacramento region have collaborated to launch Sac Running Week, a week-long event from September 12 through September 19 to highlight the city’s thriving scene. Local running organizations will be spreading the word about the community throughout the week and encouraging everyone to check out one or more of the city’s free meetups, as well as register for the Buffalo Stampede 10 and 4 mile run/walk on September 12 and the Gold Country 5K on September 19.

On any given day, at least one Sacramento group gets together to be active while supporting runners of all ages, genders, ethnic backgrounds, and fitness levels. Whether someone is a devoted trail runner or an occasional jogger, an early bird or a night owl, if they’re looking for friends or just looking for tips on how to improve their solo training sessions, there is an opportunity for everyone. Sac Running Week celebrates the sport’s presence in the city and welcomes new and experienced runners alike to join the flourishing community.
