Rock Cobbler Trail Run - Run Details
The Rock Cobbler Trail Run 2.0 is an off‑road trail event at Rio Bravo Ranch in Bakersfield, CA on Nov 7, 2026. It evolved from the original Rock Cobbler gravel ride and follows dirt trails and varied terrain with significant elevation gain.
Distances offered:
- Boulder: roughly 26 mi / 41.8 km, about 4500 ft elevation, two laps
- Cobbler: roughly 13 mi / 21 km, about 2300 ft elevation, one lap
- Pebbler: roughly 6 mi / 10 km, short single loop
Required gear and race procedures include good trail shoes and shoe gaiters, and appropriate upper‑body clothing (full sleeve, short sleeve, or tank; no shirtless running). Poles are allowed. The event operates cupless; runners must carry handheld, waist pack, or backpack hydration. Aid stations will provide fluids and fueling after the start. Outside support is not permitted, though Boulder participants may stash supplies at the start/finish area. Organizers time finishers and recognize the first male and female finisher on each route with a special gift. Runners must meet the organizer cutoff at the final SAG stop or may be removed.
Event amenities and fees noted by organizers: Friday packet pickup and evening activities, a Friday night Beer Mile and pasta dinner, breakfast burritos and coffee on race morning, post‑run lunch from Bakofornia Grill, raffle entry for all runners, a swag bag and a special gift. Camping is available at $50 per vehicle per night with no services. Entry fees are $150 Boulder, $130 Cobbler, and $100 Pebbler; refunds are not offered.
