The Bertman Run
The event takes place on Saturday, January 17, 2026, in Folsom, CA, at the Historic Folsom Station North Park and Ride (951-975 Leidesdorff St, Folsom 95630). It is a fundraiser for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS), now called Blood Cancer United, held in honor of the race director's father. The event includes in-person and virtual options.
Course and race logistics
The in-person course is an out-and-back on the American River Trail starting at the park and ride lot. The trail remains open to other users; participants are asked to stay to the left on the bike trail. An aid station is provided at the 10k turnaround; there is no aid station for the 5k. There is no official bathroom at the race start; bathrooms are available on the bike trail.
Packet and bib pick-up is day-of only at the Park and Ride lot. There are no official timing chips; finish times will be logged manually. Goodie bags, bibs, and morning treats are available at check-in. Medals are awarded to all participants. Awards are given for first place male and first place female in both the 5k and 10k. Medals and awards will not be mailed if not collected on race day. Virtual participants may register and send photos to the organizers.
