Turtle Bay Run
The Turtle Bay Run is an annual Redding Breakfast Lions event and fundraiser held at the Sundial Bridge and along the Redding River Trail. The event offers three distances:
- Half marathon
- 10K
- 2 mile run/walk
The half marathon route follows the Sacramento River and crosses three bridges: the Sundial Bridge, the Ribbon Bridge, and the Diestel Horst Bridge. The course includes paved park paths and an out-and-back segment on Middle Creek trail. The 10K follows the river trail for a shorter distance, and the 2 mile option is offered for younger and older participants.
The event uses electronic timing with individual bib tracking. Age-division awards are offered in five-year increments starting at under 15 years; the 2 mile race includes additional divisions beginning at age five and under. Both the half marathon and the 10K are certified with the American Track and Field Association (half marathon code CA17044RS; 10K code CA16038RS).
Entry fees are published for each distance, with higher late-entry fees after specified dates and a late fee applied after September 3. Technical performance T-shirts are included for registrations made before the organizer’s stated cutoff; shirts are not guaranteed after the cutoff and are excluded for late school team entries. School teams may enter high school or younger runners at a reduced cost per runner with no shirt included.
Swag bag pickup is available at Fleet Feet in Redding and at the Sundial Bridge on the event weekend. The event returns a portion of funds raised to local running programs. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
