Event Details

Just under 300 runners crossed the finish line in both races combined at the 2009 running of the Run Like Hell Bend Half Marathon & 5K, which was also the race's inaugural running here through the downtown streets and winding roads outside this city in central Oregon, in what is known as the Oregon High Desert region of the state.

Described by organizers as a fun and festive race timed to coincide with the upcoming Halloween holiday, the race features runners decked out in costumes -- the 2010 race will feature a science fiction theme for costumers -- and follows an out-and-back loop course that starts and finishes near the Deschutes Brewery on Simpson Avenue. The race starts along a bend in the Deschutes River, and takes runners along the river's edge near the finish line back to the brewery.

Along the route, runners will get a chance to see a wide variety of the area scenery, from the mountains of the Cascade Range off in the distance to the trails of Riverbend Park on the way into the finish line. The race also takes runners through downtown city streets near the area known as "Old Bend," and within shouting distance of the nearby Les Schwab Amphitheatre along the river, a popular spot for concerts and outdoor events in the summer.


Race Weather & Climate

Located near the center of the state, roughly 160 miles southeast from Portland, the city of Bend lies in the Oregon High Desert region, known for its relatively low precipitation, especially in the summer. In October, the city's average monthly temperatures range between 46°F and 28°F, while precipitation amounts average about 0.62 inches for the month.
