We’ve got just over a week to go until this year’s Bidwell Classic! In this throwback we are heading back to 1982-83. The running craze was still in full force in Chico and CRC and Fleet Feet had an entire week full of events and speakers.
You can see the 1982 top results, those OG’s were fast!

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!
