Welcome to Sacfit

Welcome to Sacramento Friends in Training (Sacfit)
We're glad you dropped in! Go ahead and have a look around. We've got some really great running and walking programs that are fun, safe, and enjoyable. Also, the programs consider those who's time is a premium. After all, fitness is great, but there's more to life than just working out.

Sacfit is pleased to announce the opening of our 2012 Winter/Spring Half Marathon and General Fitness training progam, which also happens to be The Official American River Parkway Half Marathon Training Program.

This is Sacfit's most popular training program and is perfect for all fitness levels - and most New Year's Resolutions!

So whether you're a couch potato ready to take that first step toward getting a little more fit, or interested in running (or walking) your first half marathon, or an advanced runner looking to to get blazing fast for a PR at your next half marathon, we have a program just for you.

Our training program starts January 7, 2012. Our initial meeting place for orientation and in-person registration is at the CSUS Alumni Center on January 7, 2012, at 8:30AM. Click here for CSUS Alumni Center Map and Directions

We do fill up fast, so we encourage you to sign up soon. Online registration is now open! CLICK HERE TO JOIN.

For those not so inclined to register in cyberspace, we offer the traditional in-person registration at our January 7 program kick-off.

Right after you register, we have a quick orientation, which includes a brief pace run or walk to determine an appropriate pace group for you. So bring your running or walking shoes!

Can't make the January 7 Kick-off date?
No problem. We have Online open registration until January 24, as well as in-person registration on January 14 and 21. And don't worry, we will present and review the same orientation information for all new members on those subsequent Saturdays. (So don't come home early from your holiday vacation!)

Note: Our meeting location after the January 7 program kick-off will be at William Pond Park. Click here for William Pond Map and Directions
