The Fall Foot Half and the Bigfoot 10k start at the Cascade Lakes Welcome Center on Century Drive and follow a downhill route on a paved bike path that connects to the Deschutes River Trail, finishing at Riverbend Park. The half marathon course passes through the Old Mill, loops to First Street Rapids on a pedestrian path, and has about 500 ft of elevation loss in the first half with flatter paths in the second half. The Bigfoot 10k course combines pavement and wide, smooth trail with nearly 500 ft of elevation loss. The Fleet Foot 5k starts and finishes at Riverbend Park and follows a route centered around the Old Mill with river, mountain, and historic mill site views.
All proceeds from the Bigfoot 10k go to support Bend-La Pine School cross country teams; past donations exceed $50,000. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
