I Like Pie: Bend
I Like Pie is a Thanksgiving morning fun run and walk held at Riverbend Park in Bend, Oregon. The event is untimed and uses a rolling start. There are multiple loop distances to choose from, and pie is served after participants cross the finish area. Proceeds benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of Bend.
Distances offered:
- Little Slice of Pi(e) : 1.3 Miles
- Perfect Slice of Pi(e) : 3.14 Miles
- Whole Pi(e) : 5.3 Miles
All entries include a custom race bib, pie with gluten-free options available, and a custom I Like Pie beanie for the first 5,000 registrants. Packet pickup is available in downtown Bend at FootZone before Thanksgiving and at the Riverbend Park start area on Thanksgiving morning. The event is produced pro-bono by the Cascade Relays Foundation and FootZone Bend to raise funds for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Bend.
Additional features noted by the organizers include a community atmosphere with music and photo opportunities at the finish area, a Perfect Slice Baking Challenge, and a dog-friendly policy for well-behaved, kid-friendly dogs (organizers ask dog owners to start toward the back of the field).
