Mistletoe Miler

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 1st Annual Mistletoe Miler! View and download all of the Mistletoe Moments captured by our three amazing professional photographers HERE.

Each year on the first Saturday of December, we invite you to kick off the holidays with Bend’s newest festive tradition — the Mistletoe Miler! Join Cascade Relays for a 3-mile fun run & walk along the beautiful Deschutes River Trail, starting and finishing at Bend Brewing Company. Expect festive photo ops, mistletoe moments, holiday cheer, and plenty of surprises along the way!

This untimed, all-ages event is all about joy, community, and creativity — so don your festive flair, jingle bells, or Santa suit, and celebrate the season in style.

When you cross the finish line, stick around downtown to enjoy the Bend Christmas Parade at noon — the celebration continues right where you are!

The Cascade Relays Foundation, founded in 2016, supports local non-profits, school groups, and community organizations in the communities our events travel through. It has directly donated over $800,000 to local nonprofits and community groups since its founding in 2008. The Foundation allows Cascade Relays to support community organizations along its Cascade Lakes Relay and Bend Beer Chase course routes.
