ONLINE REGISTRATION

It's time to re-invent! Time to inspire! Tell your personal Story!

Ever since we released Christine's story (if you haven't seen it, check out the video) of her Reinvention of herself we've heard so many good stories out there that we want you to have a chance to tell yours! We're partnering with HOKA ONE ONE and asking you to tell your story of "Reinvention".

Throughout February send in your story to us via email in whatever format tells your story the best. You're submission will go to HOKA and at the end of the month they'll be selecting a few of the amazing contributors for some awesome HOKA prizes.

Please send your submission to bendmarathoninfo (at) gmail (dot) com with "My Story" in the subject line.
We are accepting submissions through Feb 29th!

We think you'll agree, the gift of an experience is so much more rewarding than anything else. That's why we're offering you the option of gifting a race entry this year. Need a training partner? Someone you know need a little kick in the pants? Maybe your Aunt Martha needs a good excuse to come visit Bend.
We've got you covered. Head over to the online store, select the race distance you'd like to gift to someone special. Within 48hrs we'll send you a certificate that you can personalize and wrap up with a bow for them.

WE ARE GOING CUPLESS FOR 2020!
This change is consistent with our commitment to sustainability and the environment. Seeing how much waste events like a marathon generate, we felt compelled to do all that we can to minimize our impact on the environment while still providing an efficient and enjoyable race experience for our runners and walkers.
Find out what that means for you on our INFO PAGE.

NEW BEND MARATHON INITIATIVES FOR 2020
Accepting the challenge of taking on the Bend Marathon was no easy decision but one thing we knew for sure was that we wanted to turn it into an event that gave back to the community of Bend and took better care of the environment. We want to be a leader in the sport of road running in sustainability and to do that we're needing to make some changes. Some will be easy, other's not so easy.
Over the next few months we'll be rolling out changes to how we operate in order to be better stewards of our town and our planet. We hope you'll agree that it's the right thing to do.
