Events start on the Johnny Cash Trail behind the Folsom Rodeo Arena, located near Rodeo Park, 200 Stafford Street; events finish in Folsom City Lions Park.
Run participants start on the newly constructed section of the Johnny Cash Trail behind the Folsom Rodeo Arena then head across the 190-foot-long, wood arched Robbers Ravine Bridge for some spectacular scenery. The run courses continue along the trail through Folsom State Prison property and beneath Prison Road at Natoma Street using the new bike/pedestrian tunnel. Runners continue on the trail toward the iconic Johnny Cash Bridge that spans Folsom Lake Crossing.
The 4.2-mile run/walk is an out-and-back course with a turn-around and water station just beyond the Johnny Cash Bridge. The course finishes after runners cross the Robber’s Ravine Bridge on their return.
The 6.2-mile run and community bike ride participants will continue over the Johnny Cash Bridge to the Folsom Lake Trail along Folsom Lake Crossing. At the end of the trail, the course transitions to the Jedidiah Smith Memorial Trail. Participants will continue to the historic Truss Bridge toward Leidesdorff Street in Folsom’s Historic District. Participants return to the Johnny Cash Trail for a final crossing of the Robber’s Ravine Bridge before crossing the finish line.
