Surprise! CIM is Full! But you still might be able to get in.

The California International Marathon reached its 8,000-runner cap more than three months before the race and has closed general registration.
The race, founded by the Sacramento Running Association, has filled in each of the last five years. This year’s event, set for December 8th, hit its registration limit over the weekend.
But runners still have two ways to gain a spot in the field.
There are 300 charity entries available at $250 each, with 100 percent of the money going to the SRA’s youth fitness programs. Part of the entry fee ($120) is tax deductible.
