California International Marathon

The California International Marathon (CIM) is Sacramento’s premier fall race, offering a point-to-point, net-downhill marathon from the Folsom foothills to the California State Capitol. Marketed as the fastest course in the West, the course features a 366-foot net elevation drop and a flat, fast finish—helping many runners reach personal bests or Boston qualification standards. CIM is USATF-certified and serves as a Boston Marathon and U.S.

Olympic Trials Marathon qualifier. The event has welcomed more than 100,000 runners, and also offers the In-Shape Fitness CIM Relay as a team option. Registration options include various nonrefundable/transferable plans, with a strict 6-hour course cutoff. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
