The 3rd Annual Bakersfield Waffle Run

Get ready to set your alarms and lace up for an unforgettable day! Our event kicks off bright and early at 6:00 am with setup, followed by a prompt check-in and packet pickup at 6:45 am. Snap some pre-race memories with pictures at 6:50 am before we gather for an energetic welcome and announcements at 7:15 am. Then, the real fun begins: the 10K runners hit the pavement at 7:30 am sharp, with the 5K crowd starting their stride at 7:40 am. Don't worry about losing your way; the shared start line leads to well-marked courses with turnaround signs for each distance. Quench your thirst at water stations—the 5K has one at the midpoint, while the 10K route offers three. We'll wrap it all up with closing announcements at 11:45 am. See you at the starting line!
