About this race

3rd Annual Runnin’ to the Rig 5K Run/Walk!
Embrace the BHS Legacy and Join Us for the 3rd Annual Runnin’ to the Rig 5K Run/Walk!

Join us on Saturday, February 20, 2027, for a fun-filled morning celebrating Bakersfield High School's rich history, school spirit, and community!

Whether you're running, walking, or simply coming out to support BHS, this fundraising event is a great way to bring our Driller community together while raising funds for our school.

Our 5K course will take participants on a nostalgic route through our historic campus, finishing near the iconic football tunnel at Griffith Stadium. For those looking for a shorter distance, our 2K walk will wind through campus and even take participants through some of our historic buildings. The 2K walk will begin after the 5K run.

All finishers will receive a medal!

Be sure to stick around after the race for photos, selfies, and a chance to celebrate on historic Griffith Field!
