Meet Information

We are pleased to have the East Bakersfield Invitational at Lake Ming back this year! Back and better than ever with chip timing! This long standing, fast and mostly flat, race takes you around scenic Lake Ming, into the campground for a nice uphill treat before bringing you back to the lake for an exciting sprint finish.

This is always a fun course for the runners to test their all out skills with a good chance of starting the year off with a PR. There will be concessions at this event so please make sure to tell your athletes!
