About the race
Runnin' To The Rig is a fundraising event on February 20, 2027, at Bakersfield High School that highlights the school's history and campus. The program includes timed and untimed activities across the campus and a private, small-group campus tour led by a 1993 alumnus and the current BHS principal. The private tour visits behind-the-scenes locations such as the stadium tunnel, the culinary classroom in Ludden Hall, backstage and basement areas of Harvey Auditorium, the band room, and the archiving room.
The event features multiple distance options and pricing tiers. Medals are awarded to early finishers in the race categories, and commemorative race T-shirts are available for an additional fee; one race category requires T-shirt purchase by February 4 to secure a shirt. A staff and student discount rate is available for current BHS staff and students; a valid staff or student ID must be presented at packet pickup to receive the discounted rate.
Distances and options:
- 5K race
- 5K kids 13 and under
- 2K walk
- Private campus tour
Registration fees vary by category, and some categories have limited numbers of medal recipients. Packet pickup and pre-purchased T-shirt collection are provided before the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
