About this race
The Redding Breakfast Lions Turtle Bay Run, held annually in the fall, begins and ends at Redding, California's Sundial Bridge. Participants can choose from a half marathon, 10K, or a 2-mile run/walk. This event is organized by the Redding Breakfast Lions Club as a fundraiser, with proceeds supporting local running programs. The shorter run/walk allows younger and older participants to engage, and school teams can register runners at a reduced rate.
The half marathon route traces the Sacramento River, crossing the Sundial Bridge, Ribbon Bridge, and Diestelhorst Bridge. Runners proceed north on paved park paths, cross the river via Ribbon Bridge, complete a 2-mile out-and-back on the Middle Creek Trail, then return along River Trail and Diestelhorst Bridge before concluding at the Sundial Bridge. The 10K also follows the river. Both the half marathon and 10K courses are certified. While runners travel from various parts of the country, the event maintains a local feel, driven by the club, focused on fundraising, and integrated with Redding’s river trail system.
