About the Bend Beer Run
The route goes through Drake Park and along the Deschutes River before looping through downtown Bend, with craft beer stops from local breweries spaced along the way. This is an untimed event, so the pace is entirely yours. The finish drops you straight into the Little Woody Festival, an outdoor gathering with live music, games, and barrel-aged pours.
Check-in opens at The Commons Café on Brooks Street, which also serves as the start. From there the course heads out toward the river and the park. The festival at the finish is a separate ticketed event that registration covers, held at the Deschutes Historical Museum.
