About this race

Sunburst Races presented by KeyBank, will once again kick off summer in The Bend! Race day is officially set for Saturday, May 30, 2026.   We are proud to offer events for all fitness levels, including a half marathon, 10K run, 5K run, and a 5K fitness walk. Strollers, joggers, wagons, and baby carriers are allowed in the 5K Fitness Walk only. No bikes, scooters, skates, rollerblades, or similar items are permitted in any event due to safety/trip hazards.  For kids who want to walk or run, the minimum age for participation in the 5K or 10K is 6 years of age (on race day) and the minimum age for participation in the half marathon is 10 years of age (on race day). All kids, ages 6 and up, who are participating must be registered.  All events start and finish at the Century Center. There will be a beer garden for those 21 and older (ID required) and a family fun zone with activities for our youngest Sunburst-ers.  All race proceeds and donations will continue to benefit Beacon Children's Hospital. To grow our impact and reach even more children and families, we offer participant fundraising through RunSignup. There is no obligation to raise funds, but if you feel called to the mission, you have an opportunity to do so. With participants able to fundraise, we have the potential to make an incredible impact! With the tools that RunSignup provides, it's a simple and seamless process.  
  Packet Pickup Information Participants have 2 options to get their full packets (bib and shirt). These include: picking up in person (or having someone pick up for them) at Packet Pickup on Friday, May 29 at the Century Center from 12:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. or by selecting the mailing option when registering for the race (the mailing option is available until May 8).   For race morning pickup, ONLY BIBS are guaranteed at the information tent. Sunburst is a special community event with a rich history; many participants (and volunteers) join us year after year. In 2026, we celebrate the 42nd running of Sunburst Races. Don't miss it! 
We look forward to seeing you and celebrating race weekend with you. Best of luck with your training!    ***No refunds under any circumstances (please note: If you are concerned about the possible need for a cancellation or refund, race insurance is available for purchase when registering)   ***Be sure to check back closer to race day - start times, course maps, etc. could have modest changes to the details currently posted
