The Experience
The 17th annual Happy Girls Bend Run returns to Central Oregon’s high desert, drawing roughly 127 runners from 11 states for an all-women’s half marathon, 10K, or 5K. The course weaves through a mix of singletrack trails, groomed paths, and paved roads, offering constant scenic views without major elevation gain—a flat, fast profile that invites first-timers and PR-seekers alike.
The festive atmosphere builds from the starting line, where teams often sport coordinated costumes, and peaks at the finish line. There, runners are greeted with a unique Happy Girls medal, a loaded gift bag, and a full post-race party with adult beverages and food. With its welcoming spirit, stunning landscape, and small-town charm, this race makes for a perfect girls’ weekend getaway.
