Immerse yourself in the vibrant spirit of California’s Capital, the "Farm-to-Fork" capital of the world and a burgeoning center for professional sports and outdoor adventure. From the historic Gold Rush roots of Old Sacramento to the modern energy surrounding the Golden 1 Center, Sacramento is a city that values community and hard-earned success. With over 250 days of sunshine and the scenic American River as a backyard, it is the ultimate setting for athletes who appreciate grit and a post-race celebration of local culture.
The NorCal DEKA FIT Weekend takes place at the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center, a newly transformed, state-of-the-art facility in the heart of downtown. This action-packed two-day event kicks off on Day 1 with individual Age Group waves and the heavy-duty Ruck category, followed by the lightning-fast Elite heats and the collaborative energy of 2-Person Teams. The momentum carries into Day 2, the lightning-fast 4-Person Teams competition alongside the weekend’s ultimate endurance test: the DEKA FIT Ultra. The weekend wraps with a second opportunity to Earn Your Age Group DEKA FIT Mark, providing the perfect opportunity lock in a PR early in the 2026 season.
ATHLETE JUDGE PROGRAM
DEKA is truly a fitness movement we all created together. To ensure a professionally judged racing experience for all athletes, we ask all registered athletes to participate in the DEKA Athlete Judge Program at DEKA FIT events.
How it works:
If you are registered to race this event, please use the NorCal DEKA FIT Athlete Judge Sign-up Form to select your preferred Athlete Judge time.
Within 1 hour of finishing your race (or anytime before your race), make your way to the Athlete Judge check-in area at Zone 1 to begin your 60 minute volunteer judging time.
We can’t thank you enough for your support as we continue our mission of creating an epic opportunity for ALL levels to celebrate fitness together.
