WHHM @ Sports Basement Walnut Creek

With 2 weeks to go until the 2nd annual Women’s Headlands Half Marathon, Sports Basement is thrilled to host the last training run! Join us at Sports Basement Walnut Creek on Sunday, September 22 as we explore the trails of Shell Ridge Open Space. Shell Ridge is Walnut Creek’s largest open space area and gets it name from the marine fossils left behind when the ocean waters that once covered it receded.

While the race is a women’s race, this training run is open to all!

We will have three route options: 2 miles, 4 miles, and 8 miles. All three routes will head towards Shell Ridge which is located about one mile from the store.

The 2-mile route will be an out-and-back along the paved Mt. Diablo-Briones trail turning around at the start of the dirt trail.

The 4-mile route will follow the 2-mile route and continue onto the dirt trail and head immediately up hill towards a great view of the downtown area. After descending you’ll add-on a lollipop section (nicknamed Amy’s Loop after one of the SBWC run group members).

The 8-mile route will continue from the bottom of the hill in a large loop onto Coral Springs Trail towards Borges Ranch and back.
