Run the Parkway is an annual running and walking event presented through a partnership between the Sacramento Running Association and the American River Parkway Foundation. Scheduled for November 8, 2026, the event offers participants a 20-mile race, a half marathon, and an untimed nature walk along the American River Parkway. It is also the Official Training Run of the California International Marathon, connecting the event with Sacramento’s wider running community.

Proceeds benefit the American River Parkway Foundation, supporting its mission to preserve and encourage enjoyment of the Parkway, a valued part of Sacramento’s parks. The event website provides registration and event information, beneficiary details, results and photos, and lodging information to help participants prepare and follow the event.

Run the Parkway is part of the Sacramento Running Association’s broader calendar of races and community events, which includes the California International Marathon, CIM Relay, Urban Cow Half, and other local runs. The association also offers email updates about upcoming events and specials from the Sacramento running community.
