Race Information
The Hanukkah 8 Krazy Kilometers and 2K Latke Loop event is a virtual fun run that takes place during the eight days of Hanukkah. Group registrations are eligible for a discount.
Runners who want to race for a first-place medal in their age group can still run at the Panorama Vista Preserve, a 938-acre natural habitat preserve situated along the Kern River in Bakersfield, California. Participants will be aided by the RaceJoy app for turn-by-turn directions and entertainment. Everyone who participates in the fun run will receive a participant medal, t-shirt, swag bag, and a raffle ticket.
Go to this race's official website for details on the nightly fun events happening during the holidays, which include nightly family-friendly events, a costume contest, a Facebook live event, and more. A portion of each registration goes to the Kern River Parkway Foundation, a non-profit organization that works to protect, preserve, and restore the natural riparian and wildlife habitat of the Kern River.
