Bend Beer Chase

Pick a distance option – are you in for the full Beer Chase, or more of a Keg Leg person? We love either option!

If you’re registered for the full Bend Beer Chase, you get an automatic entry into the Keg Leg. If you’re not up for the full relay, you can register just for the Keg Leg separately!

Gather up your favorite people!

If you’re doing the full Bend Beer Chase, you’ll need a team of 1 – 6 people. The less people you have, the more running/walking each person will do to complete the full 12 legs of the 57 mile relay. So on a 6-person team, each person runs 2 legs; On a 3-person team, each person runs 4 legs, etc. You’re free to split up the legs however your team sees fit!

If you’re doing the keg leg, no team is required. It’s just you and 1.5 miles of walking or running and definitely beer drinking. Feel free to do this with friends, but you don’t need to be a formal team.

Short on friends? No problem! We can match you to a team and help you make some new (cooler) ones.

The Bend Beer Chase relay can be as competitive or relaxed an experience as you want. If you’re in it to win it, we love that! If you’re just here to have fun with your friends, hang out, meet people, drink beer, etc., we love that too!

Either way, some running or walking fitness will likely make your experience a bit better, especially if you’ve signed yourself up for some longer legs. But hey… what do we know. Wherever you fall on the party to competitive racer spectrum, you are welcome here.

The Bend Beer Chase is a six-person running relay spanning approximately 57 miles over one epic day. Consisting of 12 legs of varying distance (4-8 miles per leg), each runner on the team runs two legs.

The course kicks off along the Iconic Deschutes River in downtown Bend’s Drake Park, winding its way through scenic trails and rural back roads to Redmond and back. Runners finish where they started—with a riverside beer festival in the heart of Bend at the iconic Drake Park. Throughout the course, local breweries host exchange points where participants sample craft brews, and at the Finish Line, with 20 beers on tap, runners can raise a full pint from their favorite brewery in celebration.

On a 6-person team, each person runs 2 legs; On a 3-person team, each person runs 4 legs and we welcome teams of all sizes between 1 and 6 runners/walkers.

Each time you exchange at a brewery, you have the option to enjoy a 3-4oz sample of craft beer from the sponsoring brewery. Consumption is not required. Every team is required to have a designated driver and DD’s are not allowed to consume alcohol during the event.
