Run for Coffee Lovers SACRAMENTO 2026

The Run for Coffee Lovers Sacramento begins in small morning waves, offering 5K, 10K, or half marathon options for those seeking a coffee-themed run over a competitive, chip-timed event. Waves start at 7:30, 8:00, and 8:30 a.m., with each wave having a limit; runners who register after a wave is full are placed on a waitlist or offered a virtual participation option. All running speeds and ages are welcome; minors must be accompanied by a guardian, and participants can choose to run or walk. The event details do not provide a specific route map but describe a straightforward run supported by coordinators, requiring no special equipment or packet pickup. Timing chips are not used; runners can record their own times using an app, submit them for online results, or request assistance from coordinators. The top five finishers will receive coffee, and the participant package includes a shirt mailed to their address, a medal, a finisher towel or other giveaway, a digital training guide, a completion certificate, and an invitation to join local running clubs. The organizer also supports a charitable cause by donating $1 for every mile logged post-event.
