Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and Cascade Relays Foundation and FootZone are excited to host the annual “I Like Pie” event! Join us Thanksgiving morning for a 5K or 1.5-mile walk/run along the scenic Deschutes River Trail. Celebrate the holiday by giving back to our community, enjoying delicious pie, and supporting a great cause—all proceeds benefit the Boys and Girls Clubs of Bend.
Continuing the cherished tradition, families and friends will gather in the Old Mill District for an untimed run/walk to get outside and exercise before Thanksgiving meals and pie eating commence. Participants can begin their walk or run anytime between 7:30 a.m. and 9:30 a.m., with the final slice of pie served at 10:30 a.m.
Cross the finish line arch to enjoy a lively celebration featuring music, community connections, photo opportunities, and of course, plenty of PIE! The first 3,500 registrants will receive the highly coveted 2024 I Like Pie knit beanie. Don’t miss out—secure your spot today at www.ilikepiebend.com.
“Nothing brings us closer to friends and family than traditions,” said Scott J. Douglass, Co-Founder of Cascade Relays. “Let this year’s event be about fun and connections while celebrating our thankfulness, health, and happiness while raising much-needed funds for The Boys & Girls Clubs of Bend.” A huge thanks to the community, as last year we raised over $34,000 at 2023’s I Like Pie run.
The registration fee is $40/ adult and $20/youth. Packet Pickup will take place at FootZone in downtown Bend on Tuesday, November 26th from 1 pm – 6 pm and Wednesday, November 27th from 10 am – 5 pm.
On Thanksgiving morning, packet pickup and day-of registration will be held at The Old Mill District on the West Lawn in front of the Hampton Inn from 7:00 am – 9:30 am.
The start line will stay open until 9:30 am with the last piece of pie served by 10:30 am.
