Fog Run

Fog Run Race Information

<p>The Probation Auxiliary County of Kern presents their 36th Annual 5K-10K Fog Run at Lake Ming in Bakersfield. This is a fun and family friendly 5K-10K race to support at-risk individuals in Kern County.</p> <p>Proceeds will also benefit the Kern County Probation Department&#39;s Helping Hands program. Helping Hands is a nonprofit organization, and their goal is to guide at risk youth towards success by removing barriers and equipping them with the basic needs. Together the two organizations provide scholarships, vocational training, mentoring, clothing, hygiene products, and other necessities.  We believe our programs leave a lasting impact on youth by removing barriers and increasing self-esteem, confidence, and drive to go to school. It is our hope to set up individuals for success and make our community a safer place. The race takes place on a beautiful scenic course overlooking beautiful mountains and lake views.</p> <div><strong>Packet Pickup</strong></div> <div> <p>Thursday, January 8, 2026, from 4:30PM – 6:30PM at Kern County Probation Department, 2005 Ridge Rd., Bakersfield, CA 93305<br />Friday, January 9, 2026, from 4:00PM – 6:00PM at Orangetheory Fitness, 12838 Stockdale Hwy Suites 4A-1 &amp; 4A-2, Bakersfield, CA 93314<br />Race Day Check-in/Packet Pickup: January 10, 2026, 6:30am – 7:30am at Lake Ming </p> </div> <div> </div> <div><strong>Event will occur rain or </strong><b>shine.</b></div>
