Run The Parkway - Sacramento, CA

Run The Parkway - Sacramento, CA is held in Sacramento, California, on November 8, 2026, and is organized by the Sacramento Running Association. The trail event offers a 20-miler (32.2 km) and a half marathon (13.1 miles), along with an untimed 4-mile nature walk and a kids' version of the walk for those who prefer to stroll.

The 20-miler is the standout distance: it lands right where a marathon training plan calls for the longest run, which makes this event a popular dress rehearsal for winter and spring marathons. The half marathon suits runners looking for a flat, fast fall race on the American River Parkway, and the walks make it easy to bring the whole family. Train on packed dirt and paved multi-use paths, and use the race to test your goal pace, fueling and shoes well before your key marathon.
