About the Bakersfield Marathon
The Bakersfield Marathon offers runners a unique journey through California's Central Valley. Starting in downtown Bakersfield, the course winds through historic neighborhoods, lush parks, and along the scenic Kern River. Participants experience the city's rich agricultural heritage and vibrant community spirit. With a relatively flat terrain and typically mild fall weather, this USATF-certified course provides an excellent opportunity for both seasoned marathoners seeking a PR and first-timers looking to conquer 26.2 miles. The event also features a half marathon, 10K, and 5K options, making it accessible to runners of all levels.
