Why run a marathon - part 3 - is here! When you train for and race a marathon you meet so many people along the way, and strengthen your relationship with those already around you. It takes lots of support to tackle 26.2! Whether it’s going into your local running store, joining a club, mingling on social media, running with a training partner, hiring a coach, working together in a pace group, or post race beers - there’s so many opportunities to connect with others! #runCIM #road2CIM #WhyWeRun #Marathon #MarathonTraining

We’re back with more reasons to start training for a marathon! Consistent distance running provides so many benefits to your mental health. Who isn’t in a better mood and feeling great about themselves after they finish a run?? The runner’s high is real! Training for a marathon is hard, but it will make you tough, and leave you feeling confident and accomplished #runCIM #road2CIM #MarathonTraining #WhyWeRun

Thinking about running a marathon? Here’s our first take on why you should tackle 26.2! Training for a marathon will strengthen your muscles, including your heart, which will improve overall cardiovascular health. This means your heart will become more efficient, pumping less often while delivering more oxygen through your bloodstream to muscles and organs. It significantly lowers blood pressure, cholesterol, and risk of heart disease and stroke. #WhyWeRun #runCIM #road2CIM

The California International Marathon (CIM) is a marathon organized by runners, for runners! CIM was founded in 1983 by the Sacramento Running Association (SRA), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The SRA Board of Directors is comprised of runners with a combined total of 150+ years of service to CIM. The same route SRA management created for the 1983 inaugural CIM will take you through rural countryside, then through the towns of Orangevale, Citrus Heights, Fair Oaks and C...armichael and finally, under a canopy of trees in full fall colors, into the city of Sacramento for the State Capitol finish. Even though the course has remained the same, the race has grown into a true international event. CIM has a gently rolling, point-to-point, net downhill course with well maintained streets and few turns. CIM start is at a 366 ft. elevation and its finish at a 26 ft. elevation. CIM has steadily grown in numbers from a field of 1,600 runners in 1983 to a race that now fills to a capacity of more than 9,000 marathoners. Over the years, the SRA has added a relay and 2 Saturday 5Ks, the UC Davis Children’s Hospital MaraFUNrun, primarily for youth, and the Capitol 5K, a premier 5K held the day before CIM. The SRA Board of Directors, race management and volunteers work thousands of hours year-round to ensure that all runners have the best marathon experience possible, whether you are an experienced elite racer, mid-packer or are running for your first marathon finisher’s medallion! #runCIM #road2CIM See more
