Redding Breakfast Lions Turtle Bay Run

The Redding Breakfast Lions Turtle Bay Run takes place in Redding, California, on October 3, 2027. Three starts are staggered: the half marathon (13.1 miles / 21.1 km) at 8:30 a.m., the 10K at 8:45 a.m. and the 2-mile (3.2 km) fun run at 9 a.m. The half follows the Sacramento River and crosses three bridges, the Sundial Bridge, the Ribbon Bridge and the Diestelhorst Bridge, before returning to the start. The half and the 10K are measured and electronically timed, with age-group awards.

A riverside course usually means little climbing, with regular changes of rhythm at the bridges: an honest setting for a first half marathon or a tune-up before a fall marathon. The 10K, starting a quarter of an hour later, lets companions run without waiting around. Age groups start young, which makes the race relevant for young runners from local clubs.
