California Classic Half Marathon

Race Overview

Join us in celebrating our 15th year when we host runners in our Half Marathon, 10k, and 5k Run as half and 10k participants run through Sea Lion Cove, African Adventure and NEW KINGDOM OF ASIA at Fresno Chaffee Zoo, with a grand finish at Chukchansi Stadium. Or choose our Rock and Run 5k: it doesn't go through the Zoo, but has all of the other benefits of the Half Marathon.
