About the race

The Bakersfield Jingle Bell Run for Toys for Tots is an annual festive event held at The Park at River Walk in Bakersfield, CA. The run features a 5K run/walk, a 1-mile walk, and a virtual run option. Participants receive Christmas-themed sweatshirts and jingle bells, with those bringing a new unwrapped toy awarded a Santa hat.

The event includes holiday music, Christmas medallions, and a unique snow effect at the start and finish lines, similar to Disneyland's technology. The 5K is timed with age group awards, while the 1-mile walk is untimed. Strollers are welcome, but dogs are not allowed for safety reasons.

The event supports Toys for Tots and embraces a joyful holiday atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
