Glad to see the holy grail of Sacramento running made it to the FKT site! Ran the parkway downhill from Beal's Point to Discovery Park as indicated on the route page, although the variation along the north side of Lake Natoma makes for a subjectively better route, as mentioned in the comments. The morning was warm, but the many water fountains throughout the first ~20 miles make it easy to run unsupported. Carried a few gels for fuel and a bottle for refills. Hopped off trail at Nimbus Flat to use the bathroom. I'm sure this has been run faster before, and if not I'm sure some of the guys running out here could break 3 hrs. But do road guys even know what FKTs are?
