Happy Girls Bend

A beautiful course, a goal worth chasing and a community cheering you on. Happy Girls brings runners and walkers together in Central Oregon for a day that’s as much about the experience as it is the finish line.

You’ll be supported along the way with aid stations, medics and an encouraging event team ready to cheer you toward the finish.

Happy Girls welcomes every pace, every experience level and every kind of goal. We believe running and walking can be about so much more than a finish time—it’s about showing up for yourself, pushing past obstacles and discovering what you’re capable of.

And, of course, we like to make the celebration just as fun as the miles. Expect awesome race swag, Happy Girls gear, a finisher’s medal worth showing off and plenty of reasons to celebrate after you cross the finish line.
