Patch Sponsors 'Running of the Elk'

Elk Grove's first half-marathon takes place April 1.

Elk Grove Patch is thrilled to co-sponsor Elk Grove's first half-marathon, the Running of the Elk.

The race, which takes place April 1, encourages physical activity and health on two levels: Proceeds benefit the Elk Grove Youth Sports Foundation, which gives low-income kids scholarships to participate in team sports. And with three race options—the half-marathon, a relay and a 5K—both new and veteran runners can find a way to challenge themselves.

All courses begin and end at the Elk Grove Auto Mall—and it's Elk Grove, so needless to say, they're flat!
