About the Kayla Bernardi BEE Positive Fun Run Walk
This race is held in memory of Kayla Bernardi, who passed away from leukemia, and her family runs it each year to honor her and raise money for their foundation. Her nickname was Busy Bee, which gives the event its name and its tone. The route is a fun run and walk, open to all paces, and the mood reflects the foundation's "Bee Positive" message.
After the race, the morning continues at Dust Bowl Brewery's beer garden, where there is live music, corn hole, a food trailer, and an outdoor bar. A special edition beer brewed specifically for the event is part of the occasion, and the post-race gathering is as much a part of the day as the run itself.

The Kayla Bernardi BEE Positive Fun Run Walk has been held every year since at least 2024. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
