SUMMARY:Bend Marathon
DESCRIPTION:Course Highlights\nThe Bend Marathon starts and finishes at Bend’s Old Mill District West Parking Area\, one of the most picturesque race venues in Oregon. The course follows the Deschutes River Trail through Bend’s scenic riverfront parks\, climbing gently through neighborhoods with panoramic views of the Cascade Mountains — including Mount Bachelor\, the Three Sisters\, and Broken Top. The marathon starts at 7:00 a.m.\, with the half marathon at 8:00 a.m.\, 10K at 8:15 a.m.\, and 5K at 8:30 a.m. A Kids Race follows at 11:00 a.m. \nRace Details\nThe 2026 Bend Marathon is scheduled for Sunday\, April 12\, 2026\, at the Old Mill District West Parking Area. Organized by passionate local race directors\, this race has a refreshingly personal quality that big-city events can’t match. Registration is available at bend-marathon.com with early pricing significantly lower than race-day pricing. The five-distance format ensures the whole family can participate. \nWhy Runners Love It\nBend is consistently ranked among America’s best outdoor cities\, and the marathon puts that reputation on full display. Running along the Deschutes River with the snowcapped Cascades as your backdrop creates some of the most scenically motivated miles you’ll ever run. The Old Mill District — a converted historic lumber mill turned upscale shopping and dining district — provides a stunning start/finish venue\, and Bend’s legendary post-race restaurant and brewery scene means recovery meals are exceptionally well handled. \nRace-Weekend Tips\nBend sits at 3\,600 feet elevation — runners coming from sea level should allow extra acclimatization time or adjust pace expectations. April weather in Bend can range from warm sunshine to snow flurries; pack layers. The Old Mill District offers plenty of parking. Plan a full Bend weekend with mountain biking\, hiking\, or skiing before or after the race. \nRun through Oregon’s outdoor capital — register at Bend Marathon.
