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.

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.
