Bakersfield Jingle Bell Run for Toys for Tots
About this race
We will be hosting our 8th Annual Bakersfield Jingle Bell Run for Toys for Tots! The Jingle Bell Run will feature a Christmas designed Sweatshirts and Jingle Bells to all registered participants. The hope is to get each runner or walker to bring a new unwrapped toy and for doing so they will be awarded a Santa Hat!
