CIM Training Program

­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­Welcome to Fleet Feet Folsom & Roseville's California International Marathon (CIM) Training! This program is designed to help both new and experienced runners reach their marathon goals in a positive and fun group environment.

The California International Marathon - CIM - takes place on Sunday, December 3rd, 2023. This 26.2-mile run starts in Folsom and ends at our state's capitol building! This race has a net elevation loss and is one of the country's best Boston Marathon qualifiers! It is a fast marathon course and a great first or 20th marathon course.

While this marathon training program is filled with perks at its core – experienced coaches, goal-based training plans, insights from CIM insiders, and premium race day experiences – it is really about building a community of people who share a passion and want to work together to reach their goals. This program is about encouraging and motivating one another to do your best. Whether you are looking to finish, improve, or perform, this program will leave you a smarter, healthier, and happier runner.
