Half marathon runners will travel upriver along the American River on an out-and-back route with a key-hole loop starting at mile 3.5 and ending at mile 9.5. The Parkway is the only half marathon in the world with a separate course for runners and walkers. Half marathon walkers will navigate the historical runners’ half marathon course which is an out-and-back, downriver route.

The half marathon run, the half marathon walk, the 5k run/walk and the kid's dash all have separate starts.

Participants can register for a unique bit of swag - a personalized finisher medal!

The race begins at 1530 Howe Ave in Sacramento.
