About the race
The Bertman Run is a community road-and-trail event held from a park-and-ride lot in Folsom, California, with courses on the American River Bike Trail. The event includes three distance options and raises funds for Blood Cancer United; net proceeds after event expenses are donated via Team In Training and direct donations are accepted. The run is presented in memory of the event organizer's father, who died from mantle cell lymphoma. The course is an out-and-back on the American River Trail and remains open to other parkway users; participants are asked to stay to the left on the bike trail.
Aid stations are provided at the 10K turnaround and the half marathon turnaround; there is no aid station on the 5K course. There is no official bathroom at the race start; public restrooms are available in nearby Old Folsom businesses and on the bike trail, though lines can be expected at nearby facilities. Packet and bib pick-up is day-of only at the Park and Ride lot. Official timing chips are not in use; finish times will be logged manually or via app.
Goodie bags, bibs, and morning treats (including donuts, coffee, fruit, water, and sports drink) are available at check-in. Medals are awarded to all finishers and gift card awards are given to first-place male and female finishers in each distance. Partners on site include Yerbe Madre offering free drinks.
No refunds. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
