Walnut Creek International Half Marathon was a celebrated annual running event in Walnut Creek, California, offering participants a flat and fast course for various distances, including a 5K, 10K, and half marathon. The event, which began in 2011, fostered a vibrant running community and was known for its post-race celebrations and special recognition for multi-year participants through loyalty medals.

Despite its success and the strong support of the City of Walnut Creek, organizers have announced the retirement of the Walnut Creek Running Festival, citing the complexities and costs associated with hosting such a large event. Although this particular festival has concluded, the team behind it remains active in organizing other events within the running community.
