New Year's Run 5K/10K/13.1 SACRAMENTO

New Year's Run 5K/10K/13.1 SACRAMENTO takes place in Sacramento, California, on December 26, 2026. The half marathon (13.1 miles), the 10K, the 5K and a one-mile family fun run all start at 7:30 a.m. You choose the distance that fits and run it at your own pace among a motivated field, with your timed result tracked through the running app you already use. Entry includes a technical race shirt, a finisher medal and a digital training pack.

Because the pace is yours to set, this works as well for adding variety to a training block as it does for a race effort. A half marathon here suits anyone finishing a fall of steady mileage: ten to twelve weeks with a weekly long run is enough to cover 13.1 miles comfortably. The event also puts you alongside local running clubs, which in late December is worth rather more than the medal is.
