The Pony Express Half Marathon starts on Capitol Mall in downtown Sacramento and makes a loop around Raley Field before returning to the east side of the Sacramento River. The course then continues along the river that gives the city its name until reaching the halfway point of the race. From there, runners will turn around and return to Capitol Mall along a different route that takes runners past Land Park and back toward downtown before crossing the finish line in front of the Capitol Building.
