Buffalo Chips Running Club

Where Are We Headed?

Beginning in the parking lot of the coffee shop, we run on a short trail that connects to the paved running trail which borders Lake Natoma on the south side. From there, we head upstream, eventually navigating through Old Town Folsom, crossing the wooden pedestrian bridge that spans the American River, then catching the American River Parkway Trail near the 27.5-mile marker. Some may make the loop around Lake Natoma, for a total distance of just under thirteen miles, whereas others may decide to make it an out-and-back course, by continuing up the American River Parkway Trail to catch the steeper hills on the way to Folsom Lake.

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

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 in the parking lot in front of the Caffe Latte Restaurant, we will run west down Pocket Road, go through Garcia Bend Park, to access the trail on top of the levee that follows the Sacramento River. We will run east on the levee, possibly going as far as the water intake facility, which is approximately four miles from the restaurant. Those that would like to go even farther can continue along the top of the levee, using a dirt path that continues through the town of Freeport, ultimately reaching the Clarksburg Bridge, which would be five miles to that landmark.

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

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