Kick off the race season with this exciting Oregon tradition. Drawing inspiration from the iconic salmon of the Pacific Northwest, join hundreds of runners on their own journeys along the beautiful Deschutes River courses. With three distances: 5K, 10K and half marathon, we are prioritizing accessibility for all runners with affordable registration fees and early bird pricing for even deeper discounts. The perfect month for racing, April boasts cool temperatures in Central Oregon and blue bird sunny skies!
The Salmon Run course takes runners along the beautiful and picturesque Deschutes River. The half marathon course is 75% paved sidewalks and 25% trail. The 10K course is 80% paved sidewalks and 20% trail. The 5K is 65% paved sidewalks and 35% trail.
Taking place in the spring, the Salmon Run is one of the first running events of the season and the essential tip-off to the local racing scene in Central Oregon. Traversing beautiful dirt and paved trails amongst junipers and pines, the race course winds through some of the most scenic natural areas in Bend and finishes on the lawn Riverbend Park.
Make a weekend of it! Bring the kids for the Little Fry Run too!
