Run the Parkway
Run the Parkway is a community running event in Sacramento set for November 8, 2026. The Sacramento Running Association and the American River Parkway Foundation organize the event in partnership.
The event includes multiple distance options:

Proceeds from Run the Parkway benefit the American River Parkway Foundation to support its mission of preserving and promoting use of the American River Parkway, described as the "crown jewel" of Sacramento Parks. The event is noted as Sacramento’s only running event that directs 100% of its proceeds to the American River Parkway Foundation.
Run the Parkway is also designated as the Official Training Run of the California International Marathon. The program structure provides a combination of distance events and an untimed nature walk that focus on the Parkway as the venue and beneficiary.
