A. Bakersfield Marathon Update - Huot
Assistant City Manager, Chris Huot, provided a brief presentation regarding the
planning efforts of the upcoming Bakersfield Marathon event scheduled for Sunday,
November 13, 2016. It is estimated that there will be 1,500 to 2,000 participants in the
event, which consists of four types of runs, including a full and half marathon, two
person half marathon relay, and 5K “fun run” at California State University,
Bakersfield. The route will have participants beginning in the southwest, directing
them to the northeast, and then returning to the southwest via the bike path.
Committee Member Smith stated he was excited to see the Bakersfield Marathon
come to fruition. He thanked City staff and the event organizers for all their work and
efforts.
Committee Chair Sullivan asked Mr. David Milazzo with the Bakersfield Marathon
Organization Committee where participants will be coming from and if the event
would be an annual event.
Mr. Milazzo stated that participants are coming from 55 cities, nine states, and
representatives from Canada. He stated the event organizers intend to make the
marathon an annual event. Anyone interested in participating or volunteering can
visit runbakersfield.com. Also, participants will be checking in at an expo being held
at the Buck Owens Crystal Palace on Saturday, November 12, 2016.
Committee Chair Sullivan asked City staff to provide the presentation heard at the
