The Parkway Half Marathon is an annual spring-time tradition for runners and walkers in the Sacramento region! \u00a0This flat, fast, and shady course travels along the American River Parkway through old-growth Oak forests, lush meadows, and pristine riparian habitat, making it a perfect race for a PR, and a scenic journey for everyone!\u00a0 But the Parkway Half is more than just a race- it is the first, and for nearly a decade, the ONLY race event to donate 100% of its proceeds to benefit the American River Parkway. As of 2026,\u00a0our cumulative donations have amounted to over $400,000!\u00a0<\/p>\n
These donations help fund habitat restoration, invasive plant removal, trash clean up, kids\u2019 interactive nature trails, and our latest project - drinking fountain installations, of which five have been installed, with two more on the way! As such, participating in the Parkway Half Marathon is the number one way to support your Parkway!<\/p>\n
Come on out for the race, stay for the party, and support your Parkway along the way!\u00a0<\/p>","url":"https:\/\/runsignup.com\/Race\/CA\/Carmichael\/AmericanRiverParkwayHalfMarathon","external_race_url":null,"external_results_url":null,"fb_page_id":null,"fb_event_id":null,"address":{"street":"5700 Arden Way","street2":null,"city":"Carmichael","state":"CA","zipcode":"95608","country_code":"US"},"timezone":"America\/New_York","logo_url":"https:\/\/d368g9lw5ileu7.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/generic\/genericImage-websiteLogo-287183-1788892499.9779-0.bQOfvt.png","can_use_registration_api":"F","real_time_notifications_enabled":"F","events":[{"event_id":1185595,"race_event_days_id":414346,"name":"Runner Half Marathon","details":null,"start_time":"4\/24\/2027 07:30","end_time":null,"age_calc_base_date":null,"registration_opens":"9\/8\/2026 14:35","event_type":"running_race","distance":"13.1 Miles","volunteer":"F","require_dob":"T","require_phone":"T","registration_periods":[{"registration_opens":"9\/8\/2026 14:35","registration_closes":"1\/5\/2027 23:59","race_fee":"$85.00","processing_fee":"$6.10"},{"registration_opens":"1\/6\/2027 00:00","registration_closes":"2\/17\/2027 23:59","race_fee":"$93.00","processing_fee":"$6.58"},{"registration_opens":"2\/18\/2027 00:00","registration_closes":"3\/14\/2027 23:59","race_fee":"$103.00","processing_fee":"$7.18"},{"registration_opens":"3\/15\/2027 00:00","registration_closes":"4\/17\/2027 23:59","race_fee":"$115.00","processing_fee":"$7.90"},{"registration_opens":"4\/18\/2027 00:00","registration_closes":"4\/24\/2027 10:00","race_fee":"$124.00","processing_fee":"$8.44"}],"sub_event_ids":[],"previous_year_event_id":null},{"event_id":1185596,"race_event_days_id":414346,"name":"Walker Half Marathon","details":null,"start_time":"4\/24\/2027 07:30","end_time":null,"age_calc_base_date":null,"registration_opens":"9\/8\/2026 14:35","event_type":"running_race","distance":"13.1 Miles","volunteer":"F","require_dob":"T","require_phone":"T","registration_periods":[{"registration_opens":"9\/8\/2026 14:35","registration_closes":"1\/5\/2027 23:59","race_fee":"$85.00","processing_fee":"$6.10"},{"registration_opens":"1\/6\/2027 00:00","registration_closes":"2\/17\/2027 23:59","race_fee":"$93.00","processing_fee":"$6.58"},{"registration_opens":"2\/18\/2027 00:00","registration_closes":"3\/14\/2027 23:59","race_fee":"$103.00","processing_fee":"$7.18"},{"registration_opens":"3\/15\/2027 00:00","registration_closes":"4\/17\/2027 11:59","race_fee":"$115.00","processing_fee":"$7.90"},{"registration_opens":"4\/17\/2027 12:00","registration_closes":"4\/24\/2027 10:00","race_fee":"$124.00","processing_fee":"$8.44"}],"sub_event_ids":[],"previous_year_event_id":null},{"event_id":1185597,"race_event_days_id":414346,"name":"5K","details":null,"start_time":"4\/24\/2027 08:00","end_time":null,"age_calc_base_date":null,"registration_opens":"9\/8\/2026 14:35","event_type":"running_race","distance":"3.1 Miles","volunteer":"F","require_dob":"T","require_phone":"T","registration_periods":[{"registration_opens":"9\/8\/2026 14:35","registration_closes":"1\/5\/2027 23:59","race_fee":"$40.00","processing_fee":"$3.40"},{"registration_opens":"1\/6\/2027 00:00","registration_closes":"2\/17\/2027 23:59","race_fee":"$48.00","processing_fee":"$3.88"},{"registration_opens":"2\/18\/2027 00:00","registration_closes":"3\/14\/2027 23:59","race_fee":"$57.00","processing_fee":"$4.42"},{"registration_opens":"3\/15\/2027 00:00","registration_closes":"4\/24\/2027 10:00","race_fee":"$65.00","processing_fee":"$4.90"}],"sub_event_ids":[],"previous_year_event_id":null},{"event_id":1185598,"race_event_days_id":414346,"name":"Kids Otter Dash","details":null,"start_time":"4\/24\/2027 09:00","end_time":null,"age_calc_base_date":null,"registration_opens":"9\/8\/2026 14:35","event_type":"running_race","distance":"0.5 Miles","volunteer":"F","require_dob":"T","require_phone":"T","registration_periods":[{"registration_opens":"9\/8\/2026 14:35","registration_closes":"3\/14\/2027 11:59","race_fee":"$15.00","processing_fee":"$1.90"},{"registration_opens":"3\/14\/2027 12:00","registration_closes":"4\/24\/2027 10:00","race_fee":"$25.00","processing_fee":"$2.50"}],"sub_event_ids":[],"previous_year_event_id":null}]}}
