The
Course
The Half
is an out and back course running West from
Yokut's Park in Bakersfield, CA on the bike path along the Kern
River. A fast course with no hills to speak of, you will
enjoy running along the Kern River Parkway, which has been
landscaped in such a way to preserve a riparian zone that is
natural for this area.

Marathon.
5K Course heads in the opposite direction from the half marathon.
The 5K is always a competitive event which draws both serious 5K
competitors and people who want something to do while waiting to
cheer for a friend or family member as they finish their longer
race.
Water will be on the course
about every 3.5 miles. (at the turn around for the 5K)
Weather. We have had sunshine, light fog, rain, and
once even snow for this event. Expect a chilly start,
but come prepared for an event that warms up a bit before
you finish. The average Hi/Lo for this day is 58/40 F,
the records are 78/25 F.

Stuff for
You
