Nestled north of California’s capital of Sacramento, the former mining town of Rocklin plays host to the Run Rocklin Half Marathon, 12K & 5K, which takes place in the early spring each year.
The race starts and finishes at Johnson-Springview Regional Park just outside the business district of Rocklin. From there, runners run south before turning left onto Sunset Boulevard and right on Whitney Boulevard, running alongside the edges of the park.
The race continues north on Whitney Boulevard for a little over a mile before the roads ends and the half marathon continues right onto Crest Drive and the outskirts of Rocklin, leading runners along the hilliest part of the course.
