About
The Bend Dirt Fest is a one-of-a-kind multi-discipline event designed for endurance athletes of all levels. Held in the stunning outdoor playground of Bend, Oregon, this festival brings together a trail run, gravel race, and mountain bike race for a full weekend of adventure, competition, and community.
Set against the stunning backdrop of Bend, Oregon, the courses take you through a mix of scenic singletrack, rugged gravel roads, and flowy trails. Each event showcases the area’s natural beauty, with varying levels of terrain to keep things exciting for all skill levels.
Race Options for All Athletes
Participants can go solo or, as part of a team, making the Bend Dirt Fest perfect for both personal challenges and shared experiences. Whether you're tackling the trails alone or teaming up with friends, all riders are scored as SOLO participants with the added bonus of signing up as a team for a built-in discount. However you slice it, Bend, Oregon and the Bend Dirt Fest has a format for you:
Team Divisions:
For those who thrive on collaboration, Bend Dirt Fest offers team options where combined times determine rankings. Both 2-person and 3-person Team formats encourage camaraderie while testing your endurance for Open, Masters, and Mixed teams.
Solo Divisions:
Take on either the Half Marathon Trail Run or the 54-Mile Gravel Grinder as a solo competitor. With Open and Masters age groups available, solo racers will be ranked by individual times within their division against all members of Teams. Please note MTB participation requires a Team of 2 or 3 due to trail capacity limits.
