More than 5,000 hotel reservations are credited to California International Marathon. Brenda Kirian is with one of the hotels near the race finish line - the Hyatt Regency in downtown. Kirian says runners are a pretty mellow lot.

"Everyone heads to bed early Saturday night," says Kirian. And then Sunday morning it's a ghost town around here because they all catch the shuttle early." The shuttle to Folsom where the race starts.

The marathon will trigger rolling street closures along the course. But CIM's John Schumacher says most locals are okay with that. In fact, he says a lot of folks like to be on the sidelines cheering the runners on...like last year when a runner got hurt near the finish line.

"She broke her foot at the 25 mile mark," explains Shumacher, "and several spectators who live nearby helped her out, gave her some tea, a blanket and crutches to get to the finish."

About 15,000 people are registered to take part in the marathon.

The race will trigger rolling road closures. That may bother some motorists. But Mike Testa with the Sacramento Convention and Visitor's Bureau says CIM gives the community a boost.

"To be able to host an event like CIM is a very positive thing for people who live here," says Testa. "And while not everybody is a marathon runner there's a big part of the public that is part of that community and if not runners themselves very supportive of it."

CIM's economic impact to hotels, restaurants and shops is projected to be around $7 million.
