I’ve run this marathon every year (but once when I volunteered for it instead) since this race started. It was my first marathon and the course has changed quite a bit since the first year. Yes, there are hills. But they are manageable with some hill training so not too bad. I absolutely love the energy, the people, the scenery and the after party. It’s a really wonderful race that always gives me the good feelings and has me coming back each year!
Pros:
Scenery. I love this town. The course takes you through some neighborhoods, some paved trails and some dirt. A little bit of everything.
Gear: The race shirts are my favorite and the first one I grab from the drawer for a training run. Last year they added craft gear to the line up and I am stoked because Craft + Bend Marathon = ❤️ The logos are sweet too. Recently they’ve changed the logos each year and the designs are always cool.
Medals: stunning. The medals are wood and are a delightful change from the common medal ones. And I love the designs. Really beautiful stuff.
Aid stations: These people are stoked to be out there. So much energy and it’s a great pick-me-up. Sometimes they will even have a dance party with you as you run by.
Cons
I don’t have any. 😂 It’s a beautiful race.
