READY TO RUN

From race morning to after the finish.

Your start time, fuel and bag drop.
Know them ahead and the run feels easier.

Wanoga Snow Park, the start venue, lies deep in Deschutes National Forest and is not served by public transport.

Drive from Bend along the Cascade Lakes Highway;

since the parking area fills from early morning, set out with plenty of time to spare.

As a high-elevation forest trail, the race requires preparation for cool mornings and dry heat later in the day.

Registration is handled by the organizer at bendraces.com.

Times are local to Bend. Check the latest official information before the race.
