Badger Cove Half Marathon/10K/5K 2026

The Badger Cove running event takes place at Del Valle Regional Park in Livermore, California. The 2026 edition is scheduled for April 18, moving from its previous traditional date in March to take advantage of different weather conditions and trail surfaces. The event features a variety of distances held within the hills of Lake Del Valle.

The race offers three primary distances:

  • 5K
  • 10K
  • Half Marathon

The 5K course is flat, while the 10K and half marathon routes lead through the emerald hills of the park. All participants, including hikers and walkers who are welcome to join, will be professionally timed using electronic chips.

Participants receive a t-shirt and a custom finisher medal for their participation. The event also supports the East Bay Regional Parks Campership Program through an optional donation platform. For those unable to attend in person, a remote runner option is available. Registration fees vary based on the timing of entry, with price increases occurring as the event date approaches.
