Come Join Us!

Welcome to the Bakersfield Distance Project. Back in August 2009, I teamed up with Joe Petersen's Building Better Bodies to start a running camp. The following is an information page for our distance camps.

First off, I keep an almost daily training/racing blog HERE. Please bookmark it for updates on Bakersfield Distance Project News.

Though our training camp is known as a running camp, it is really about training and competing in endurance footraces whether one runs, jogs, wogs or walks to complete them. Hence the name the Bakersfield Distance Project which is about helping athletes achieve their endurance goals in a group atmosphere.

We meet two nights a week (6pm at Yokuts Park on Tuesday and Thursday nights) and on Saturday and Sunday mornings at various locations. Saturdays are at 7am at the Panorama Bluffs unless there is a race and Sundays we meet in the mornings for long walks to help build your endurance in a more relaxing manner.

We also have a Saturday only option. Details HERE.

In 2010, we will be offering month long camps for $40 (You can join in the middle of one and we will prorate the fee.) So drop by Tuesday or Thursday evening at 6pm and check us out. We meet under the covered picnic tables and start with a ten minute warmup near the soccer field.

What do I receive with my Building Better Bodies/Bakersfield Distance Project Camp?

Expert Coaching, Training Schedule, Text and/or Email Support, Group Support, Informative Training Resources, and a stronger, fitter, faster you !!! More Information HERE.

Please download the waiver/registration form HERE and print it out. Please bring the completed waiver/registration form to your first Bakersfield Distance Project Camp Session. You may pay with a check made payable to Building Better Bodies or online via Pay Pal.

*One can start later in the session and the fee will be prorated.
