Fall Foot Half
The Fall Foot Half gives you a longer fall racing option. This race is fast, scenic, and is a great run (or walk) for experienced or first time half marathoners. The Half Marathon course will start at the Cascade Lakes Welcome Center and wind downhill on the paved bike path and connect to the Deschutes River Trail, cruise through the Old Mill, and loop around to First Street Rapids on the newly constructed pedestrian path. With about 500 ft of elevation loss in the first half, and flat, scenic paths for the second, this course will be a new Bend favorite. Paired with the oldest footrace, the Bigfoot 10k, this new half distance will provide the perfect race complement and makings of an incredible fall weekend in Central Oregon.
Bigfoot 10k
A runners fall right of passage, the Bigfoot race has been a staple on runners calendars since 1976. A fast “downhill” course from the outskirts of Bend down Century Drive into the heart of the Old Mill, Bigfoot has aided many a runner to a quick 10k PR. The course in its third year will start at the Cascade Lakes Welcome Center and wind downhill on the bike path and connect to the Deschutes River Trail finishing at Riverbend Park. This half pavement half smooth wide trail is a fun, fast and scenic course with nearly 500 ft of elevation loss As Bend’s oldest foot race be sure to put this on your race calendar.
Fleet Foot 5k
The Fleet Foot 5k race won't disappoint! This race is fast, scenic, and a great entry run for first time racers at the 5k distances. This event is runner/walker friendly and is a fun option for walkers or families looking to take on a challenge together. The course is centered around the Old Mill, with river, mountain, and historic mill site views that will help the miles fly by.
