Organiser's Description
The Parkway Half Marathon is an annual spring-time tradition for runners and walkers in the Sacramento region! This flat, fast, and shady course travels along the American River Parkway through old-growth Oak forests, lush meadows, and pristine riparian habitat, making it a perfect race for a PR, and a scenic journey for everyone!

As of 2026, our cumulative donations have amounted to over $400,000!
These donations help fund habitat restoration, invasive plant removal, trash clean up, kids interactive nature trails, and our latest project - drinking fountain installations, of which five have been installed, with two more on the way!
