    Immerse yourself in the vibrant spirit of California’s Capital, the "Farm-to-Fork" capital of the world and a burgeoning center for professional sports and outdoor adventure. From the historic Gold Rush roots of Old Sacramento to the modern energy surrounding the Golden 1 Center, Sacramento is a city that values community and hard-earned success. With over 250 days of sunshine and the scenic American River as a backyard, it is the ultimate setting for athletes who appreciate grit and a post-race celebration of local culture.

    The NorCal DEKA FIT Weekend takes place at the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center, a newly transformed, state-of-the-art facility in the heart of downtown. This action-packed two-day event kicks off on Day 1 with individual Age Group waves and the heavy-duty Ruck category, followed by the lightning-fast Elite heats and the collaborative energy of 2-Person Teams. The momentum carries into Day 2, the lightning-fast 4-Person Teams competition alongside the weekend’s ultimate endurance test: the DEKA FIT Ultra. The weekend wraps with a second opportunity to Earn Your Age Group DEKA FIT Mark, providing the perfect opportunity lock in a PR early in the 2026 season.

    This annual community race event has achieved many milestones over the past 19 years, including the distinction as the first half marathon along the American River Parkway and the first Spring-time half marathon in the Sacramento region.

    Also, it was the first and, for nearly a decade, the ONLY race event to donate 100% of its proceeds to benefit the American River Parkway. Our latest milestone: to date, we have donated over $400,000 in proceeds!

    These donations have helped fund Parkway enhancements such as habitat restoration, invasive plant removal, trash clean up, kids’ interactive nature trails, and our latest project - four new drinking fountain installations to date, with a fifth for this Spring 2026!

    But inasmuch as the Parkway Half serves as an important financial benefit to the Parkway, this race is mostly about getting outside and having fun with family and friends along our most beautiful local recreational treasure.

    And with the scenic course, friendly volunteers, talented musicians, and a bag pipe processional to start the morning, it's a great way to celebrate a day on the Parkway.

    Come on out for the race, stay for the party, and support your Parkway along the way!

    CANCELLATION POLICY

    Per the running industry policy, all entry fees are non-refundable. Once we receive and accept your entry, you will not receive a refund if you cannot participate.

    But, not per the running industry policy, entries are transferable! All you need to do is go into your account and follow the prompts and/or buttons to transfer your entry to another friend or family member. There is a small transfer fee, but better than no option at all!

    The Fair Oaks Chicken Run is a beloved Fair Oaks tradition—and after 44 years, it still hasn’t gotten any easier. Known as one of the most beautiful and challenging courses in the Sacramento area, this iconic event draws everyone from competitive racers to participants just out to enjoy a fun community celebration.

    The 5-mile Chicken Run winds through the charming Old Fair Oaks neighborhood before heading out on a keyhole loop in Sailor Bar. The course is a true hybrid—half paved road, half dirt trail—and features the legendary four hills: Grand Daddy Hill, Hernia Hill, The Beast, and Last Gasp. The 2-mile Rooster Ramble Run/Walk stays on paved roads through Old Fair Oaks, making it perfect for runners, walkers, and families.

    ⚠️ Important: This race is extremely popular and sells out early every year, so don’t wait to register if you want to be part of this long-standing Fair Oaks tradition.
