The Bakersfield Marathon has permanently moved to the spring and will be held on March 27th, 2022.
A spring race brings health advantages as our fall race has suffered from air quality issues due to the ever-extending fire season throughout California. Also, training for a marathon through the winter months is much more amenable than training in the summer. We think the spring scheduling is a positive feature for the future of the event.
Still want a fall event? Please Click here to join us at the 2nd Annual 2021 Virtual Bakersfield Marathontaking place November 12th through 14th -- the same weekend as our planned in-person race. We’ll be presenting a virtual 5K, 10K, Half and Full Marathon — plus one special challenge for our toughest competitors. You wont want to miss out on our limited edition 2021 VBM Tech Tee and custom Medallion.
In addition to giving local runners an opportunity to run a Boston-qualifying marathon in their own backyard, we are excited to welcome runners from across the U.S. and around the world. The Bakersfield Marathon has a race for everyone!
We have a scenic Marathon, Half Marathon, 10K and 5K! A race for the whole family!
