St. Patrick’s Day Dash

Join us for Central Oregon’s biggest St. Patty’s day celebration!

St. Patrick’s Day Dash

🍀 Join us at The Annual St. Patrick’s Day Dash & celebrate the St. Patty’s Day weekend the authentic Central Oregon way—with fitness, beer, live music, and more! This family-friendly walk/run takes place in Bend, Oregon, alongside the stunning Deschutes River. There’s something for everyone, with options for a 10K, 5K, or 1.5-mile course. (If you prefer a more competitive experience, rest assured that all distances will be chip-timed!).

Gather the family, rain or shine, to walk, jog, crawl, or run, and be sure to wear your green as there will be prizes for best costume and best wearin’ o the green! Cross through the finish line arch and celebrate your victory at the Post-Dash Bash!

Proceeds from The St. Patrick’s Day Dash support a different local charity each year.

Come for the run, stay for the party, and drink some green beer for a cause!

Get a free hydro flask

Thanks to our amazing sponsors, the first 10K or 5K participants to sign up will receive a complimentary Hydro Flask with their registration!

  • Proceeds from The 2026 St. Patrick’s Day Dash support The Mountain View NJROTC Cadet Corp.

    Mission: To develop student leaders who serve with honor, courage, and commitment.

    The Mountain View High School NJROTC Cadet Corps is Bend’s only JROTC program, building leadership, citizenship, and teamwork through academic, athletic, and service-based experiences. Cadets compete across the Pacific Northwest—earning top regional honors—and serve Central Oregon through parades, veteran tributes, flag placements, and nonprofit support. They volunteer at nearly every Cascade Relays event each year, and we are proud to support their efforts through the St. Patrick’s Day Dash as we invest together in the next generation of community leaders.

  • At Cascades Relays, being a positive member of the communities we live in and travel through is very important to us. 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 $850,000 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.
