This is a point-to-point course that begins in the foothills at Folsom and finishes at the California State Capitol in Sacramento. The net drop is 366 feet, which stays within Boston Marathon index standards, and the course is USATF sanctioned as a Boston and U.S. Olympic Trials qualifier. Seventeen aid stations serve water and Precision Hydration, with gels and fruit at three of them, and there are three self-refill water points for your own bottle. Course services follow a six-hour finish cutoff, so slower runners should not count on aid at the end.
