Bend Trail Series
The Bend Trail Series is a four-race trail running series held in Bend, Oregon. Since 2017 the series has been held on Thursday evenings, with each race run on a different course and distances ranging from 4-7 miles.
The 2026 race dates are April 16, May 7, June 18, and July 16. Registration for the Series covers all four races and is handled online; there is no online registration for single races. Single-race registration is available on site for $25 cash.
Participants who compete in at least three races are included in the overall Series standings. Sponsors provide prizes for top finishers. A post-Series party takes place after the final race, where organizers present awards for overall men, woman, and non-binary podium winners, recognize age group winners, hold a raffle, and serve beer.
Maps for each route are posted the Monday before each race on the race website and on the event Facebook page.
The event is produced by Go Beyond Racing, which organizes more than three dozen trail races annually. The organizer states that their events emphasize racer safety, aid stations and volunteers, donations to beneficiaries, and efforts to reduce environmental impact.
The cancellation policy: cancellations more than 30 days before a race receive a 50 percent credit toward a future Go Beyond Racing event, valid for 365 days and not transferable. Cancellations 30 days or less before a race receive no credit, refund, or transfer. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
