American River Parkway Half Marathon

Do you love to walk or run? The 15th Annual American River Parkway Half Marathon returns to the City of Rancho Cordova on Saturday, April 29, 2023! The Parkway Half Marathon has been an annual spring-time tradition for runners and walkers in the Sacramento region for now 15 years. This flat, fast and shady course travels along the American River Parkway through old-growth Oak forests, lush meadows and pristine riparian habitat.

But the Parkway Half is more than just a race. It is the first, and for nearly a decade, the ONLY race event to donate 100% of its proceeds to benefit the American River Parkway. Plus, the event features a half mile Kids' Otter Dash. The event is supported through the city's Community Enhancement & Investment Fund. Learn more and register here.
