2026 Sactown Run

The Credit Union Sactown Run returns to the heart of California’s capital on Sunday, April 12, 2026. Known as Northern California’s premier spring running event, it features a scenic course centered around the iconic Capitol Mall and the famous Tower Bridge. In partnership with the Sacramento Running Association (SRA), this event serves as a major fundraiser for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals across California, combining athletic achievement with a significant charitable impact through Credit Union Miracle Day.

New Highlights and Course Experience

The 2026 edition introduces an exciting Road Mile race, providing a rare opportunity for runners to test their top-end speed on the flat, fast streets of downtown Sacramento. This joins the traditional community 5K, ensuring options for both competitive sprinters and local joggers. The route offers unparalleled views of the State Capitol building and provides a high-energy atmosphere with spectators lining the Capitol Mall. Both distances are professionally timed and managed by the SRA, ensuring a high-quality experience for all participants.

Charitable Partnership

A core element of the Sactown Run is its dedication to philanthropy. By participating, runners support the Children's Miracle Network, helping to provide critical funding for pediatric medical care and research. This partnership with the Credit Union Miracle Day has historically raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for local hospitals. Whether you are aiming for a personal best in the mile or enjoying a morning run with the community, your participation helps make a difference in the lives of children across the state.
