This remarkably fast and equally beautiful road race will be REVEL’s first exclusive half marathon. With a starting elevation of 3,849 feet above sea level, and ending at 185 feet, REVEL Mt Diablo Presented by Visit Walnut Creek will be the series’ fastest half marathon with a loss of 3,664 feet. Located within the Diablo Range of Northern California, this epic half marathon will start with breathtaking sunrise views at Mt Diablo summit, then travel through the iconic Mt Diablo State Park, and finish at Arbolado Park in the charming city of Walnut Creek.

Half Marathon
The REVEL Mt Diablo half marathon offers runners an incredibly fast and scenic course through Mt Diablo State Park. This exclusive half marathon drops 3,664 feet in elevation and is surrounded by panoramic views of the Bay Area. The half marathon begins at Mt Diablo Summit with the San Francisco skyline in the west and Sierra Nevada mountains in the east.

The course runs down Summit Rd for .15 mile then does a .25 mile loop through the Lower Parking Lot. Runners proceed down Summit Rd for 1.9 miles before doing a brief, but beautiful .10 mile loop around the rim of Diablo Valley Overlook. The route continues on Summit Rd for .75 mile to Oak Knoll Picnic Area for a .15 mile loop. Upon leaving Oak Knoll Picnic Area, runners return to Summit Rd and continue onto North Gate Rd for a long and fast 7.70 mile stretch the park entrance.

After exiting Mt Diablo State Park, the course continues along North Gate Rd through the charming city of Walnut Creek for 1.25 miles then turns right at Oak Grove Rd. Runners will travel north on Oak Grove Rd for .5 mile, turn right onto Arbolado Dr, and run .35 to reach the finish line at Arbolado Park.
In addition to offering a fully-supported run through Mt Diablo State Park, we strive to make this event even more memorable with some additional perks, listed below.

FREE PHOTOS & PERSONALIZED VIDEOS There will be photographers at multiple locations along the course to take pictures of your race experience. Be sure to smile big, make a tough face, or strike a pose for the cameras as you go by. Please make sure your bib is visible as well. Photographers will also be at the finish to capture your sprint across the line and take your photos in front of our backdrops. All race photos will be provided for free. We will also use photos you select to create a personalized highlight video for you. It is crazy to pay $50 to $100 for a single image download like you may have experienced before. Your memories are on us! Your photos will be made available shortly after the race along with your results on the results page. You will receive a link via email a few weeks after the event to select the photos for your video.

FINISH LINE FESTIVITIES Once you cross the finish line, stick around and enjoy the exciting atmosphere at the finish.
