Starting and finishing in the pristine El Dorado Hills Town Center (Town Center), The Gold Country Run will feature a 10K, 5K, and Kids K all presented by Marshall. This event will showcase what makes El Dorado Hills “one of America’s best places to live” according to CNN: beautiful views of the Sacramento Valley and Sierra Nevadas, interesting landscapes, vibrant shopping and dining, and an active and healthy community nestled in the heart of historic Gold Country.
The race will be a premier running event managed by Sierra Endurance Events and it features a 10K and 5K course that features an initial loop in Town Center followed by and out and back (with a screaming fast finish!) making it a great event for participants and spectators alike! The event will be followed by a Finisher Fitness Festival presented by Marshall and our other important sponsors.
The Kids K is a child friendly loop around the pond at Town Center, held during the 5K and 10K events and separate from that course. This event gives kids a fun and safe introduction to what its like to participate in a world class foot race!
