Thanksgiving Day 2024

|

Bend, Oregon

I Like Pie

Join us for a classic Bend, OR tradition – the I Like Pie fun run and walk on Thanksgiving day!

I Like Pie Thanksgiving Fun Run

Kick off the holiday festivities with a double dose of goodness: Giving back and eating pie for a cause!  On Thanksgiving morning, bring the entire family down to Old Mill District anytime between 7:30 am and 9:30 am to run or walk a festive 1.5-mile or 5K loop. 

Cross through the finish line arch to enjoy a celebration filled with music, community, photo ops, and of course—PIE.

Your participation supports our local community, with all proceeds benefiting the Boys and Girls Clubs of Bend.

  • Start Time

    This is an un-timed event, with a rolling start time between 7:30am-9:30am.

    • If you’d like to have a more competitive experience, please plan to line up at 7:30 and we’ll send the racers off the line first, it’s still an untimed event but you can race for bragging rights.
    • For those that want a more leisurely or family-oriented pace, please feel free to join us for a start on your time-frame.
    • The start line will stay open until 9:30 am with the last piece of pie served by 10:30 am (we want our staff and volunteers to have time with their families too)!
  • Boys & Girls Clubs of Bend is a safe place to learn and grow – all while having fun. At our two locations in Bend, we offer life-changing programs to youth between the ages of 5 to 18 years old. Our programs focus on academic success, healthy lifestyles, character development and citizenship involvement in our community in Central Oregon.

  • Cascade Relays Foundation and FootZone Bend have produced this event together, pro-bono, to raise funds for the Boys & Girls Club Of Bend.
