Kern Cancer Run/Walk and Festival 2026

Get ready for a heart-pumping, spirit-lifting day at the 2023 Kern County Cancer Run/Walk! While we've hit max capacity for the 5k run/walk, the festival awaits you and your energetic support on Saturday morning. Remember to practice kindness and caution around our cancer survivors and fellow participants; if you're feeling unwell, let's save your participation for next year.

Every step you take, every cheer you make, radiates hope for local patients in need. Funds raised are entirely dedicated to the Kern County Cancer Foundation, aiding patients with medical expenses and travel for treatment. And what's more? To honor our 10th anniversary, we nixed registration fees for the first 800 lucky participants! Set your reminders for an unforgettable experience on September 16th at Riverwalk Park in Bakersfield, CA, where compassion meets community. See you at the starting line!
