Bimbo Global Race - Los Angeles
About this race
The Bimbo Global Race is Back at the
ROSE BOWL STADIUM
We are excited to be heading back to Pasadena this year to host our race at one of the most iconic sports venues in the U.S., Rose Bowl Stadium. Our in-person Bimbo Global Race will kick off directly outside the famous stadium marquee heading out onto the picturesque tree-lined streets of Pasadena, looping around the Brookside Golf Course, with our photo finish right out in front of the stadium.
About the Bimbo Global Race
This is our 10th edition to host our Global race which was created to unite participants across the World to compete together. Our Global race is for everyone: competitive runners, casual walkers, families, friends and everyday joggers looking to come out and participate in Bimbo's healthy, active lifestyle initiative. It is truly a global event; in 2016, Bimbo Global Race (formally known as Global Energy Race) broke the Guinness Book of World Records for the most 10K races held simultaneously worldwide on the same day!
In addition to this Global happening, Bimbo Bakeries USA is proud to partner with Feeding America® and their local area food banks during the month of September (Hunger Action Month) to give back during these times of need and support the local community. For every individual who participates in this year's race, Bimbo Bakeries will donate bread to the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank. Every step helps feed someone in need to nourish a better World.
