Description
The 7th Annual Heroes on the Run
Presented by Subaru of Bend
Run in the morning. Celebrate all day.
For the first time ever, Heroes on the Run is part of Heroes & Hounds, a full-day celebration in Bend’s Old Mill District in partnership with the Hungry Hound Doggolympics.
After the race, enjoy a live frisbee show by JD Platt & The K9 Kings. Then, cheer on the Hungry Hound Doggolympics on the lawn at Greg’s Grill. The Doggolympics feature an obstacle agility course, high jump, a 50-yard sprint, and a best trick competition. Dogs can compete or just come hang out. All friendly dogs are welcome.
Adoptable dogs will be on-site all day, along with food and beverage options. We will also have local vendors, and our Kids Zone with a bouncy house, face painting, and more.
Every registration fuels rescue missions, lifesaving medical care, and spay/neuter clinics around the world and right here at home.
To learn more, volunteer, foster, or view adoptable dogs, visit www.streetdoghero.org .
Run Details
Leashed, friendly dogs are welcome — bring your PAWticipant!
Both races are professionally timed and run along the Deschutes River on a mix of pavement and compacted gravel with minimal elevation gain. The 5K is stroller-friendly throughout, while the 10K extends south of the Bill Healy Bridge onto a more natural, narrower stretch of trail.
Every registered runner receives a custom finisher medal and complimentary beer (21+). Race shirts and PAWticipant bandanas are available as optional add-ons during registration.
Kids Mini Run participants receive their own Street Dog Hero cape and mask, plus a finisher medal.
Awards for the Top 3 Men’s & Women’s finishers (Adult & Youth). Winners choose directly from our Prize Table featuring gift cards, gear, local experiences, and more. Fast feet get first choice.
