The Clarksburg Country Run is a local favorite. This year was the 50th anniversary and the organizers had some extra goodies for entrants. Paul Reese organized the first event half a century ago and so they gifted two of the books he wrote about running across the US when he was in his 70’s. In addition, the 5K runners got a finisher medal for the first time. Other than the much-needed rain, the event was great as usual.
Good Ol' CCR

The CCR is a popular race in the Sacramento Area. There are runners of all abilities and the production crew are true professionals. Parking can be a bit hectic. It is important to watch for potholes on the paved roads that surround the orchards. The scenery isn’t spectacular; but it is pleasant. Currently, this is my favorite event.

I live close to the event; but the winding 2-lane river road that leads to Clarksburg can get clogged. So, I was concerned about my arrival time. Parking feels limited because of CCR’s popularity. You may have a trek to the starting line. The pasta post-race meal is okay and the sweat check is great. November in Clarksburg makes for good running. The road race company and other event staff are helpful and professional.
