California International Marathon

The California International Marathon (CIM) was founded in 1983 by the Sacramento Running Association to bring a world-class running event to the Sacramento area. The same course developed then continues to provide runners with a fast, point-to-point, net-downhill marathon. Tracing an historic route used by the gold miners during the 1849 Gold Rush, the race begins at the Folsom Dam, passes through semi-rural suburbs into bustling midtown Sacramento, and has a spectacular finish in front of the California State Capitol. The CIM's 26-mile, 385-yard distance is certified and sanctioned by USATF (#CA07004RS), and therefore is a Boston Marathon qualifier and an Olympic Marathon Trials qualifier. It is frequently a regional or national USATF Championship event as well. The fast course, community support, 85% chance of perfect running weather, experienced and dedicated race management, and $50,000+ prize money attract an international field of elite runners, as well as top age division competitors, fitness runners and first time marathoners.
