California International Marathon
Time of the event is scheduled for 7:00 to 8:00 PM. Entries closed Nov. 1, 2008.
More than 9,000 runners receive outstanding support from 2,000+ experienced volunteers. They also enjoy mile-by-mile course entertainment, the cheers of thousands of spectators, and the beautiful fall colors of Sacramento's famous old growth trees.
The fast course attracts not only runners seeking a personal best time, a Boston Marathon qualifying time, an Olympic Marathon Trials qualifying time (USATF Course Certification #CA07004RS), but also those hoping to achieve their first marathon finish.
In addition, top athletes from all over the world compete for a share of the $50,000 prize money purse and for record times. The CIM is organized by the Sacramento Long Distance Running Association, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
Wish there had been this kind of money in running when I was younger.
