2025 marks the 50th year for Chico Running Club! Throughout the year we will be featuring throwbacks from the club’s past. This week it’s a clipping from the News and Review about the 1979 Bidwell Classic, as “running madness” had taken over Chico.
Founded by CRC, the Bidwell Classic used to include a full marathon Boston qualifier.
You can still register for this year’s Bidwell Classic 5k, 10k and half marathon March 1st. Almost 600 have signed up so far!
