Bakersfield Rudolph Run

Let's face it... it's 2020.  One day we are "red" the next day we are "purple".  Our safety guidelines were created during a purple cycle.  We have put on three events since July and have experience putting on safe socially distanced events that meet CDC, state, and county guidelines.  Our safety plan limits the number of people at the venue at any given time, keeps runners spaced out, and discourages any form of congregating.  We are optimistic that we will still be able to hold the event as scheduled on race day.

Our safety plan has been approved by Kern County Public Health Department

If guidance from the state changes and we not allowed to do the live run, refunds will be available, however we will encourage runners to to switch to a virtual run and allow us to donate the difference to our designated beneficiary, The Mission at Kern County.  We have some cool swag that runners will enjoy whether they run live or Virtual.

The Mission at Kern County is the community’s largest provider of emergency shelter services. Providing comprehensive care to those experiencing homelessness. We serve three meals every day, offer a safe place to sleep, and provide access to hygienic services including showers and medical care.
