Sacramento's Largest All Women's 5K Run/Walk

Get out your calendars and lace up your Nike’s! The 8th Annual Kaiser Permanente Women’s Fitness Festival is slated to take place on June 3, 2012. The certified fast and flat course begins a block away from the state capitol where there is plenty of room for enthusiastic spectators to cheer you from start to finish.

The course takes runners and walkers along popular downtown streets including N & L and past iconic landmarks like Sutter’s Fort. Once participants head west on L Street and have the historic state capitol in their sights they will be able to hear the crowds cheering them to the finish chute on 10th Street at the west steps of the capitol.
