California International Marathon Information
Receiving your Bib
This is the paper imprinted with your race number. It identifies you, and only you, as an official competitor. Transfer of bib numbers and timing chips is illegal. You must wear the bib on your front and it must be visible at all times during the event. Runners without their numbers visible are subject to disqualification. You may not alter the bib or the printing in any way. Your race bib will NOT be mailed to you; you must pick it up at the Sports and Fitness Expo, held at the Sacramento Convention Center on Friday, December 4 (3 p.m. to 7 p.m. ) and Saturday, December 5 ( 9 a.m. to 5 p.m). The Expo entrance is on J Street. When you arrive at the Sports and Fitness Expo, go to the packet pick up area where the volunteers will be sitting in alphabetical order; go to the volunteer whose letter corresponds to the first letter of your last name. This volunteer will present you with your timing chip and number. You may pick up a friend's number and chip. Race numbers are not mailed and are not transferable and race entry fees are nonrefundable!
When and where do I pick up my race number?
You will pick up your bib number, shirt and goody bag at the CIM Sports & Fitness Expo, at The Sacramento Convention Center.

PACE TEAMS!
Want a Boston Marathon qualifying time? Are you training for a personal best finish time? Celebrity CIM/ClifBAR pace team leaders will return in 2008 to help runners join together to achieve specific finish time goals. These leaders are local ultra runners, and most of them have run the CIM many times. Their experience and ability to maintain a steady pace will help you achieve your finish time goal. Bios of the 2007 leaders are posted on the Pace Team page and many of these leaders will return for 2008. Updates will be posted as they become available. Watch this cool video clip taken at the corner of Sunrise Blvd. and Fair Oaks Blvd. to see CIM Pace Teams in action.

Not an official one. Below are just a few of Sacramento's popular downtown restaurants. More restaurants and shopping can be found in Sacramento's historic "Old Town" area (on 1st and 2nd Streets between I Street and Capitol) and in the Sacramento Plaza shopping mall (between 5th and 9th Streets on K Street).
