Half Marathon
The Half Marathon is a flat fast course starting at 7am with the other three events on Civic Rd. This is a mass start and very comfortable for all runners. The Half is a fun and exciting course for all; runners and walkers alike enjoy this course for its ever-changing scenery and spirited volunteers along the route. The course, which is mostly flat boasts both an uphill and a downhill portion between mile 5-7, giving runners an opportunity to enjoy the beautiful downtown and mountain range as they descend onto Ygnacio Valley Rd.
Half Marathon Relay
The 13.1 Relay is a somewhat hilly course starting at 7am with the other three events on Civic Rd. This is a mass start and very comfortable for all runners. (Leg 2 runners will be bussed out to their check point at 6:30am). Leg two runners will get the longer portion of the event since the handoff is exactly at the 10K point on the half marathon course. The second team member will run 7 miles with just a small hill in front of them before running down Ygnacio Valley Blvd and into Heather Farms Park and back into Walnut Creek and the finish line.
10k
The 10K is a flat fast course starting at 7am with the other three events on Civic Rd. This is a mass start and very comfortable for all runners. This event is our newest joining in 2017. It is a flat and fast course that will take runners down the Iron Horse Trail and into Heather Farms park for a loop before joining the Half and Relay Runners on their return to the finish line.
5k
The 5K is a flat fast course starting at 7am with the other three events on Civic Rd. This is a mass start and very comfortable for all runners. The 5K will split off from the herd at Club Sport, look for it at mile 1.3. Volunteers and signs will direct you on to the path heading back. Enjoy this course as it is beautiful at this time of year.
Kids 1K Fun Run
The Kids 1K Fun Run is a flat course starting right after the other 4 events that start at 7am. The 1K will turn right onto Arroyo Way just 150 yards from the start line and will run on to the trail in front of them and take a sharp turn right to come back on the course which leads right to the finish line. The length of a 1K is just over 1,000 yards. So think ten football fields in a row. This will take our junior runners anywhere from 7-12 minutes to finish. When finished, they can go into Santa’s workshop and get a photo with him as a souvenir.
