Sacramento, CA
Entry is $43 now and rises to $48 after Aug 8, 2026, so registering before then saves $5.
The course runs through William Land Park, where tree cover keeps things shaded for most of the route. The race raises money for arts programs, and that shapes the morning: there is a stage set up at the park amphitheater, and local performers cycle through before and after the run, ballet, Irish dance, high school bands, choral groups, and others.
