From the Organizer
Come join us on May 16, 2026 for our 5K, 10K and Half Marathon run through the center of the Sutter Buttes, Pass Road. Scenic paved route through the smallest mountain range in the world. All run courses start on flat road and have a slight gradual rolling incline then a slight gradual rolling decline. All proceeds will benefit children and families in need in the Sutter/Yuba area. Event will take place rain or shine!
As in years past we will have a racers breakfast at the finish line but there will be no vendors or beer & wines sales at the completion of the race.
We are excited to be able to get back out and host this event! Hope to see you all MAY 16th 2026!

T-shirts are not guaranteed if you register after April 15th.

About This Sport
Endurance Grid is here to help you understand the sport, decide if it's the right fit, and learn how to prepare. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer's event page.
The half marathon is the distance where you find out what you're actually made of. Long enough to demand real preparation. Short enough that it doesn't consume your life to train for it. Most people who run their first half describe it as the race that changed their relationship with what they're capable of. Once you cross this finish line, the bar moves. That's not a warning — that's the point.
Race day energy varies by event size, but the finish line feeling is the same regardless. Big races keep the noise going the whole way. Smaller races give you stretches where it's just you and the miles — and that solitude becomes its own kind of fuel.
The half marathon rewards people who show up for the boring training miles.
How long to train: 10–14 weeks. If you're already running consistently, 10 weeks of structured buildup is enough. If you're building from a casual base, give yourself 14.
From 5K to marathon, running races are the most accessible entry point into endurance sport. There's a distance for every fitness level and a community at every start line.
