About the Fall Foot Half Marathon
Run Bend and the Central Oregon Running Klub built this half onto the same October morning as the Bigfoot 10K, a Bend fixture since the 1970s. The half is the newer distance on that schedule and has pulled a growing Central Oregon field without turning into a mass event.
Course
The start sits at the Cascade Lakes Welcome Center and the opening miles run downhill on paved bike path before joining the Deschutes River Trail. From the Old Mill District the route turns flat, loops out to First Street Rapids on the newer pedestrian path, and finishes at Riverbend Park.
Race-day weather
Early October in Bend usually means a high desert start near freezing and a comfortable finish. Sun exposure on the open path stretches matters more than rain this time of year.
