Runners get to the starting line -- well the socially distant one. The 2020 Virtual Bakersfield Marathon is this weekend.

The event this year is virtual like everything else in this pandemic and Friday is the last day to register if you want to run.

There are four options this year: Virtual Mini Marathon (2.62 Miles), Virtual Marathon (26.2 Miles Continuous), Virtual Marathon (26.2 Miles Non-Continuous), and Virtual Marathon (26 1-Mile Segments). All the registration fees are the same: $26.20.

If you want to participate in this year's pandemic style marathon, you can sign-up online.
