Buffalo Chips Running Club

Where Are We Headed?

Starting from the ice cream store, we will head through William Land Park, running in front of the Sacramento Zoo, then turning right along the southern perimeter of the zoo, and crossing Sutterville Road to take the newly created “Del Rio Trail” that extends almost all of the way to the town of Freeport along the Sacramento River. This is a relatively flat paved trail that has electronic-crosswalks at all of the places where it intersects neighborhood streets.

It is an exact mile from the ice cream store to the front of the Sacramento Zoo, and then the pathway goes for almost five miles until it reaches its destination at the Conlin Youth Sports Complex Park near the intersection of Freeport Boulevard and Pocket Road.

Distance and pace will be determined by the participants and their individual training plans.

C.I.M. Recommended Training Distances:
Mid-Week = 12 Miles
Weekend = 18 Miles

Typically, someone is there at this location fifteen minutes before the listed starting time should you want to engage in some pre-workout stretching.

Where Are We Headed?

Meeting towards the front of the Trader Joe’s parking lot, we will cut through the shopping center, and then north down Folsom Road, for about one-half a mile, to reach the start of the “Miner’s Ravine Trail”. This is a paved trail that meanders through the hills of Roseville, passing by Sculpture Park, and concluding at Sierra College Boulevard. The total length of the trail is approximately 4.5-miles and is marked every half-mile and mile. If you were to run the entire distance, leaving from the parking lot, reaching Sierra College Boulevard, and then returning back along the trail, the total distance will be close to ten miles.

This will be an out-and-back course workout. Distance and pace will be determined by the participants and their individual training plans.
