American River Parkway Half Marathon

The American River Parkway Half Marathon is an annual community race taking place on April 26, 2025, at the William B Pond Recreational Area in Carmichael, CA. Celebrating its 17th year, this event features two separate race courses—one for runners and another for walkers—along the scenic American River Parkway. Participants can enjoy a flat, fast course with numerous aid stations, live music, and a festive atmosphere.

The event has raised nearly $400,000 for Parkway enhancements, including habitat restoration and community projects. It promises a fun day for families and friends, combining fitness with a celebration of nature. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
