5TH EDITION
VIRTUAL GLOBAL RACE IS BACK!
Bimbo Bakeries USA is proud to host its 10th annual Bimbo Global Race and 5th edition virtual race! After a successful inaugural virtual race in 2020, bringing together more than 20,000 participants in the U.S. alone, we are thrilled to be back and ready to run across the globe together.
The Bimbo Global Race was born from a dream to unite thousands of people around the world for a good cause. Throughout the years we’ve been present in 23 countries bringing our communities together and we will continue to be unified! On Sunday, September 21st, we will be kicking off our virtual race for U.S. participants!
About Bimbo Global Race
Bimbo Global Race is for everyone: competitive runners, casual walkers, families, friends, and everyday joggers looking to come out and participate in Bimbo's healthy, active lifestyle initiative. It is truly a global event; In 2016, Bimbo Global Race broke the Guinness Book of World Records for the most 10K races held simultaneously worldwide on the same day. Fast forward to 2025, we are still continuing to support our goal and plan to do so across the U.S. virtually.
In addition to our virtual race, Bimbo Bakeries USA is proud to partner with Feeding America to give back. Bimbo Bakeries USA has made the decision to cover the registration fees making this a FREE race for all participants in hopes that runners will donate to Feeding America to support the greater cause. If you're interested in donating, click the DONATE button at the top of the page to help feed someone in need. Every step helps feed someone in need.
Join us as the entire planet runs together for a great cause. You Run, We Donate.
