Run the River Marathon & Ultramarathon

Races: 50 K, 31 Miles, Marathon, Half Marathon

This is the most ideal marathon or ultra-marathon course. No traffic, no cars, beautiful scenery, wildlife, and a relaxed and supportive environment! Both courses are on the American River Parkway – an area rich in diversity and wildlife which follows along the American River, which is part of the National Wild and Scenic River System. Both courses lose elevation, and the ultra-marathon (31.5 miles) has a net loss of approximately 450 feet in elevation over the length of the route (see elevation chart). Both state and county parks provide excellent facilities along the pathway including water and restrooms (In addition to facilities and aid we provide).
