Details
Northern California's Jedediah Smith Memorial Trail and American River
Parkway are the setting for the annual River City Marathon, Half
Marathon, 10K & 5K, which takes runners in the event's
half-marathon on a point-to-point course that starts at the half-way
point of the full marathon at Goethe Park and finishes at Discovery
Park in Sacramento. The race is open to both runners and walkers, and
all participants have seven hours in which to complete the race.
Run on paved trails through Sacramento park system known as the
American River Parkway, the race starts those running the half-marathon
off at Goethe Park and takes them first over the bridge over the
American River, and then immediately south down along the trail as it
winds its way westward, keeping close to the banks of the river.
Runners pass by and through a number of local park areas along the way,
including the California Expo and Fair and Waterworld USA.
The surface for the race course is paved for the entire race, and is
largely fast and flat with a few rolling hills along the way. Runners
finish the race in Discovery Park, where there will be a post-race
barbecue for all finishers and their friends, families and spectators.
Organizers add that participants may not bring iPods, radios or
headphones with them during the race, and the half marathon starts at
8:30 AM.
