Urban Cow Course
-
Your half marathon adventure begins in William Land Park, home of the Sacramento Zoo.
Enjoy the waving neighbors as you travel along the tree-lined streets of the Land Park neighborhood.
Making your way through Downtown in the Middle Miles, you’ll see the iconic sights of the State Capitol and the Tower Bridge.
A path under the freeway deposits you back in time, in historic Old Sacramento.
The Sacramento River and Marina await you around Mile 7, and you’ll enjoy river views along the levee - smile for the photographers!
The final stretch takes you along Riverside Boulevard and back into William Land Park, for a loop around the golf course.
One mile to go, and you’ll be back at the Party Pasture and ready to recover and relax!
