The chance for rain this weekend comes as the California International Marathon is expected to draw thousands of people to Sacramento.Event organizers are already setting up for the big race, and they are preparing in case of some rain showers."We try to do a little bit more tenting," said Executive Director Scott Abbott. "Obviously, we're preparing for more discarded clothing. We partnered with Goodwill Industries. They pick up a lot of our discarded clothes from our runners that they discard in their first couple miles of the race."| More | 2022 California International Marathon: Information on road closures, course map, expoOn Thursday, the course team worked around the rain to load supplies onto trucks to be deployed along the 26.2-mile route from Folsom to the State Capitol.Abbott said about 10,000 runners are expected to participate, and CIM depends on roughly 4,000 volunteers to help make sure things go smoothly.
