The race commences at Sutter Health Park, just off J Street and near Tower Bridge—a perfect starting point surrounded by downtown’s familiar sights. As you lace up your shoes, prepare to traverse the park's picturesque paths lined with trees, offering a serene yet invigorating setting.
This event, now in its eighth year, has become an integral part of Sacramento’s running calendar. In 2018, it welcomed over 300 runners; today, thousands more are expected, all united by their passion for coffee and fitness. The race showcases camaraderie among participants, making it a welcoming event for both seasoned athletes and casual runners.
The course is designed to challenge and entertain with its varied terrain—firm yet slightly soft paths that cater to different paces and skill levels. Runners can choose from the 5K (ideal for all), 10K, half-marathon, or even participate in a Family 1 Mile Fun Run, ensuring there's something for everyone.
For those who prefer virtual participation, an online option is also available. Registration fees range as follows: $46.92 for the 10K, $41.48 for the 5K and half-marathon, and just $39.31 for the Family 1 Mile Fun Run.
On race day, gather at Sutter Health Park by 7:30 AM to start your journey. Packet pickup can be arranged before or on-site; simply provide a correct US mailing address during registration. Race bibs are also available onsite if you prefer this option.
The weather forecast predicts an average temperature of 12.6°C with some light rain and firm but slightly soft trail conditions, making for a comfortable yet invigorating run. Sunscreen is recommended due to the low UV index at 2.0.
Join us in Sacramento on November 28th to celebrate running and coffee together. This event promises an unforgettable experience filled with community spirit, friendly atmosphere, and shared enthusiasm among participants.
