St. Patrick’s Day Dash

March 14th, 2026 @ 12:00 pm – 5:00 pm

🍀 Join us at The 2026 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! This lively party is open to the public and features Irish beers, local food vendors, face painting, bagpipers, Irish dancers, and a live string band. All Proceeds from The St. Patrick’s Day Dash support The Boys & Girls Clubs of Bend.

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