About the Happy Girls Bend Run
The course runs on a mix of trail, groomed path, and paved surface, so the footing changes as you go. Scenic views come with it, which makes sense given the terrain around Bend. Several distance options mean you can choose how far you push it, and the race is open to women of all abilities.
There is a post-race gathering at the finish with food and drinks. It draws a lot of friend groups, and team costumes are common enough that showing up in one is not unusual.
