Saturday Run--Big Wave Coffeehouse

Where Are We Headed?

Beginning in the parking lot of the coffee shop, we run on a short trail that connects to the paved running trail which borders Lake Natoma on the south side. From there, we head upstream, eventually navigating through Old Town Folsom, crossing the wooden pedestrian bridge that spans the American River, then catching the American River Parkway Trail near the 27.5-mile marker. Some may make the loop around Lake Natoma, for a total distance of just under thirteen miles, whereas others may decide to make it an out-and-back course, by continuing up the American River Parkway Trail to catch the steeper hills on the way to Folsom Lake.

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 pre-workout stretching.
