Buffalo Chips Running Club

La Bou Bakery
4400 Del Rio Road
Sacramento, CA. 95822

Where Are We Headed?

Running from the parking lot in front of the bakery, we will loop around to the back of the building and head south on the newly created “Del Rio Trail” that extends almost all of the way to the town of Freeport along the Sacramento River. This is a relatively flat paved trail that has electronic-crosswalks at all of the places where it intersects neighborhood streets.

From that starting point, the pathway goes for almost four miles until it reaches its destination at the Conlin Youth Sports Complex Park near the intersection of Freeport Boulevard and Pocket Road. We will turn around there, or some participants may want to add on additional miles by accessing the levee trail that goes along the Sacramento River near the large water tower, and go either north towards Garcia Bend Park or south to the town of Freeport.

This will be an out-and-back course. Distance and pace will be determined by the participants and their individual training plans.

Typically, someone is there at this location fifteen minutes before the listed starting time should you want to engage in some personal pre-workout stretching.

“Miner’s Ravine Trail”
The Bean Roasting Company
413 Roseville Square
Roseville, CA. 95678

Where Are We Headed?

Meeting in the front of The Bean Roasting Company, we will cut through the shopping center, and then north down Folsom Road, for about one-half a mile, to reach the start of the “Miner’s Ravine Trail”. This is a paved trail that meanders through the hills of Roseville, passing by Sculpture Park, and concluding at Sierra College Boulevard. The total length of the trail is approximately 4.5-miles and is marked every half-mile and mile. If you were to run the entire distance, leaving from the parking lot, reaching Sierra College Boulevard, and then returning back along the trail, the total distance will be close to ten miles.

Do the route twice as a workout for the California International Marathon!

This will be an out-and-back course workout. Distance and pace will be determined by the participants and their individual training plans.

Typically, someone is there at this location fifteen minutes before the listed starting time should you want to engage in some personal pre-workout stretching.

This race is in its 17th year as part of the annual Pacific Association USATF Cross Country Grand Prix.
This 5k race is run in two loops of rolling hills around a water reservoir right next to Folsom High School. A bonus of $75 is awarded to runners breaking any age group record.
