Walnut Creek Running Festival at Christmas
Join Walnut Creek Running Festival at Christmas
Known for its wealth of parks and open green space, this East Bay city located just across the bay from San Francisco and within a short drive of nearby Oakland plays host to the 6th annual running of the Walnut Creek Half Marathon & 5K, which will also mark the final race in a series of half marathons that take place across the state throughout the year, named the California Half Marathon Series.
Lying in the shadow of nearby Mount Diablo State Park, the 20,000-acre park whose double pyramid mountains are a familiar sight to locals and residents from around Northern California, Walnut Creek is home to a number of parks large and small, from the Walnut Creek Open Space near the race starting line to the city’s Civic Park (where the race finish line lies).
The Walnut Creek Half Marathon will be the last race on the Northern Section of the California Half & Full Marathon Series.
