Registration includes a custom finisher medal, Hanukkah swag, water and refreshments, and entry into the race raffle.  PLUS those who register by November 26 will be guaranteed an event T-shirt.  In addition . . .


·       Teams of 3 or more will receive a registration discount

VIRTUAL EVENT


Back by popular demand is our virtual event!  Run or walk ANYWHERE and ANYTIME during the eight days of Hanukkah (December 8th through December 15th).


Participants will be able to download a custom race bib, run or walk an 8K or 2K distance at a location of their choosing (e.g., neighborhood, running trail, treadmill, etc.), post their results on the RESULTS page, and download a finisher's certificate.  PLUS, teams with three or more virtual event members will receive a registration discount.


Registrants will receive a race shirt, finisher medal and Hanukkah swag.  There will be two race packet mailings for virtual participants . . . one the first week of December for those who register by December 1, and the second the week after registration closes on December 15.  A small shipping fee will be applied during registration.  Unfortunately, packet pickup is not available for the virtual event.


PROCEEDS


Race proceeds will benefit TEMPLE BETH EL and the KERN RIVER PARKWAY FOUNDATION (kernriverparkway.org), a local non-profit that works to protect, preserve and restore the natural riparian and wildlife habitat of the Kern River.
