February Registration
Online at Active.com
Printable Entry Form

Two Halves Make a Whole
If you complete both half marathons in the same year, you will automatically be counted as having completed the "Two Halves Make a Whole." The only awards here are for overall fastest combined times. Your finisher's medal for each half marathon is actually half of the total finisher's medal. Fit the 2 together for the year to get your complete medal. Finisher's certificates will be sent to those who complete both halves.

The Courses
The February Half (35th annual) is an out and back course running West from Yokut's Park in Bakersfield, CA on the bike path along the Kern River. A fast course with no hills to speak of, you will enjoy running along the Kern River Parkway, which has been landscaped in such a way to preserve a riparian zone that is natural for this area. Click here to view a course map for February's Half Marathon.

The November Half (second annual) also starts from Yokut's park, but this time runners head East on the bike path towards Bakersfield's bluffs before heading back.

5K Courses at each event head in the opposite direction from the half marathon. The 5K is always a competitive event which draws both serious 5K competitors and people who want something to do while waiting to cheer for a friend or family member as they finish their longer race.

Water will be on the course about every 3.5 miles. (at the turn around for the 5K)

Weather. In January (when we have had the event in the past), we have had sunshine, light fog, rain, and once even snow for this event. Expect a chilly start, but come prepared for an event that warms up a bit before you finish. The average Hi/Lo for this day is 58/40 F, the records are 78/25 F

Registration
Besides the registration options at the top of the page, you can also register on the day of the event at Yokut's Park in Bakersfield, CA between 6:30 am and 7:45 am while those who pre-registered quickly pick up their goody bags.

Stuff for You
Awards will go 3 deep in 5 year age groups for both the 5K and half marathon at each event. The half marathon finishers get a finisher's medal that interlocks with the finisher's medal from the other half marathon that year. Quality long sleeve shirt. Finisher's certificates for those who finish both halves. In addition, people who run both halves in a single calendar year will receive a special giveaway (the 2007 special giveaway was a light weight running jacket).

Results
Race results will be posted the same day of the event here on this website. Check out results for some of our past events. If you ran the February, half marathon, and run the half marathon on November of the same calendar year, your two times will be combined for the "2 Halves Make a Whole" marathon.
