2026 Bend Beer Run
The Bend Beer Run is an untimed 5K held on August 29, 2026, that follows a scenic route through Drake Park and downtown Bend along the Deschutes River. The course is open to walking, jogging, or running and finishes at the Deschutes Historical Museum after passing through downtown.
The event includes four craft beer stops featuring local breweries, including Worthy Brewing, Crux Fermentation Project, Deschutes Brewery, and UPP Liquids. Registration includes access to The Little Woody Festival, which provides a Little Woody tasting glass, six drink tokens valid for beer or cider, live music, games, and selections of barrel-aged brews. Participants receive an event bib and can compete for costume contest prizes awarded to best-dressed entrants.
The race starts at The Commons in Bend, with the start location listed as The Commons Café at 875 NW Brooks St. The finish line leads directly into festival activities, linking the running route with the post-race festival experience. The event is restricted to those aged 21 and over. Photographs from prior years show participants in costumes and a festival atmosphere near the river and downtown streets.
