Coffee Lovers Run 5K/10K/13.1 SACRAMENTO returns to Sacramento on October 10th, 2026. The event spans across the city's beloved parks and streets, offering a unique blend of running and coffee culture. This year marks its eighth edition in the heart of California.
On race morning, runners gather at Discovery Park, where an early autumn breeze carries the scent of freshly brewed coffee from local cafes. The atmosphere is lively yet serene, with participants mingling before the start line. Spectators line up along Capitol Avenue, creating a vibrant backdrop against the golden hues of late afternoon light.
For over 7 years, Coffee Lovers Run has been a staple in Sacramento's running community, attracting both seasoned runners and newcomers alike. This year promises to be no different with its diverse lineup of distances — from the family-friendly 1-mile fun run to the half-marathon challenge. The event supports local charities through participant fees, making it more than just an athletic competition.
The course takes participants on a scenic route through Discovery Park and down Capitol Avenue. Runners can expect a mix of paved paths and smooth sidewalks that provide a comfortable surface for all paces. Notable features include the park’s picturesque lakeside views and historic buildings along the way, which add to the overall charm of the run.
Race organizers start Wave A at 7:30 AM sharp, followed by Waves B and C at 8:00 AM and 8:30 AM respectively. Latecomers can join upon arrival as coordinators stay for three hours post-first wave finish.
