Sacramento County Parks celebrates its 50th anniversary this year with a host of activities, as reported by the Rancho Cordova Post.
An excerpt.
“Sacramento County Regional Parks are celebrating their 50th anniversary this year and are hosting 50 (or more) events to celebrate the occasion. From April through October, area parks will be hosting events for families to enjoy all summer long. Sacramento County is home to 15,000 acres of park land and miles of hiking and biking trails, much of which is in Rancho Cordova.
“Saturday, April 4th kicks of the first of the 50+ events with the American River 50 mile Endurance Run. The Run will begin at 6:00 a.m. on the Guy West Foot Bridge by University Avenue and will continue along the American River biking and walking trails for 50 miles to the Auburn Dam Overlook. The Endurance Run will host 650 runners this year, and sign ups closed on February 26. But that shouldn’t stop families from cheering the runners on. A map of this years race and runner information packets can be found at the American River 50 website.”
