You loved the bike ride, now experience the mayhem on foot!

ABOUT

The RUN...The Food...The Prizes...The stupidly hard route...The glorious euphoric pain...The rocks, the dirt, the dust...

Trail Run? Sorta...

The inaugural Rock Cobbler RUN, born from its sibling the OG Rock Cobbler “sorta gravel ride” is a stupidly hard run bordering on a race. It was conceived by madmen...on a bike ride...then with running shoes....then on barstools, late in the night. As always we are passionate and driven to showcase dirt trails and things that are neither. Shenanigans abound. We promise a unique, challenging route....In a very Bakersfield way. As is tradition, the final routes, other details, updates, rules and news will be shared with registered riders.

ROUTE

The full Cobbler will be roughly 26mi/41.84K with roughly 4500ft of vert. The shorter Pebbler route will be half of that, roughly. Having fun is a must. You might meet Tacoman, throw stuff, suck your thumb, cuss at us and you WILL hike a bit. We promise an adventure!

GEAR

This is a fully off road trail style run. Good trail shoes AND sock/shoe gaiters (love us some foxtails!) are a MUST. Full sleeve, short sleeve, or tank tops are required. NO SHIRTLESS. Fully stocked aid stations will be on the course.
