Sierra-Cascade Adventure Racing Sports presents The 3rd Annual Run the River 1/2 marathon, Marathon & Ultramarathon on November 13,
2010.  All courses will follow the “Jewel of Sacramento," the Jedediah Smith Memorial Trail/American River Parkway. The 1/2 marathon begins at
William Pond Park, the marathon begins at Negro Bar in Folsom, and the ultra-marathon begins at Beals Point in Granite Bay, following the scenic
paved bike trail to Discovery Park at the confluence of the American and Sacramento Rivers.

Run the River is the ideal 1/2 marathon, marathon or ultra-marathon Point-to-Point course. This is a USATF certified marathon course and is a
great course for those trying to qualify for Boston. No Traffic, No Cars, No Cutoff Times, Beautiful Scenery and a relaxed and supportive
environment!  All courses are on the American River Parkway – an area rich in diversity and wildlife which follows along the American River, which
is part of the National Wild and Scenic River System. All courses are paved, lose elevation, and the ultra-marathon (31.5 miles) has a net loss of
approximately 450 feet in elevation over the length of the route (see elevation chart). Both state and county parks provide excellent facilities along
the paved trail including water and restrooms (In addition to facilities and aid we provide).

New for 2010, the Half Marathon portion of the American River Parkway will be CLOSED to everyone but us!

Sierra-Cascade Adventure Racing Sports provides scenic courses, well-stocked aid stations, chip timing, clearly-marked trails and GPS-measured
courses. All participants will receive medals, custom technical shirts and racer bags. An award ceremony, lunch and raffle giveaways will also
follow the event. Awards will be given to the top three athletes in 16-18, 19-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70-

First Aid, Water Stations, Restrooms and Spectators

We will have fully loaded aid stations every 2-3 miles (water, electrolyte replacement beverages, snacks). Bathrooms are available at the start and
finish and the state and county parks provide excellent facilities including a number of water fountains and restrooms along the pathway. We will
