Redding Breakfast Lions Turtle Bay Run 2026

Runners in this years half marathon will run along the Sacramento River and will be crossing three bridges: the Sundial Bridge, the Ribbon Bridge and the Diestelhorst Bridge. The runners will start out crossing the Turtle Bay Sundial Bridge, and go north on paved paths in park surroundings most of the way, until they reach the Ribbon Bridge where they cross the Sacramento River and go south until they reach Middle Creek trail, which is an out and back (2 miles), with a return to the River Trail. Once back on the River Trail the runners cross back on the Diestelhorst Bridge to the north side of the river. The runners then continue back to the Sundial Bridge where they cross back to the south side and the Start / Finish.

In addition to the half marathon there is a 10 K, which also goes along the Sacramento River, just less distance; and a 2 mile run / walk for younger and older, who do not want the longer distances. Having the multiple distance options makes it a very family friendly event.

The half marathon and the 10 K have been certified with the American Track and Field Association. For those of you who need a certified distance, this is another good reason to run this particular race.

A couple of years back we added electronic timing, through individual tracking on each runner's race bib. Since everybody liked it, this will continue for all runners at any distance.

This year's race will maintain acknowledgement of age division winners in 5 year increments starting at “under 15 years of age” . For the two mile run there will be three additional divisions starting at 5 years and under.

If you are a sponsor of the race you will get one free entry into the division of your choice. If you would like to become a sponsor please complete a sponsor form which can be found on our website at https://reddingbreakfastlionsclub.com/events-2/turtle-bay-run/
