Running Urban Cow half marathon in Sacramento this fall? The Bee wants to hear from you

In just a couple of months, runners across the Sacramento region will take their places at the starting line of the 19th annual Urban Cow race.

Many will do it for the first time.

We want to hear from you about what it takes to run a half marathon — 13.1 miles — beginning in William Land Park and through downtown, Old Sacramento and along the Sacramento River.

What are your running tips? Is there something you would’ve liked to know before you ran your first half marathon? What’s the deal with energy goos? Is running in cotton a definite no-no?

We are also looking for questions to take to experts.

Think of it like this: If you could ask a running coach or trainer anything, what would it be?

Whether Urban Cow will be your first half marathon or 50th, we are excited to hear from you and hope you help us spread the word. Submit your tips and questions in the form below:
