The Buffalo Chips Running Club started the Susan B. Anthony (SBA) 5k in 1981 to give women runners and walkers the opportunity to compete strictly against other women. The race has been successful every year in providing women with a non-intimidating atmosphere to challenge themselves to run or walk farther or faster than they may previously have. While the race attracts competitive women runners from all over Northern California, the field is composed primarily of Sacramento-based fitness runners. For many, the Susan B. Anthony 5k festival is their first race.

The race starts and finishes at Glen Hall Park adjacent to the American River. The course is USATF certified (see map), will be marked with mile 1/2 mile markers, has long straightaways, is shaded, flat, and closed to traffic so that fast times are possible on even some of the warmer Sacramento days. For those of you interested in sight-seeing during the race, the course winds through the River Park neighborhood. The one aid-station will be staffed by the always enthusiastic Youth Buffalo Chips.

If you want to come to Sacramento the night before the Susan B, the Larkspur Landing Hotel is the most convenient place to stay. It's right on the American River Parkway across the river from the race. You can leave your car at the hotel and run to and from the race if you want. It's 1.78 miles from the parking lot to the park. There is also a Fresh Choice and Mel's Diner.

The fastest cats win a cool cat...

Being a Buffalo Chips race, we should award buffalos. But cats rule, buffalo drool.

Sacramento Magazine will provide us with 700 of these bags for the first 700 runners who sign up.

So, once the schwag is all gone, you can still use the bag----good for you and for the landfill :-).
