Central Oregon Community College’s two long-running spring race events are happening on the Bend campus in May: the four-mile Jungle Run on May 7, and the two-mile, 465-step Storm the Stairs on May 19.
Serving as scholarship fundraisers, both races are free to COCC students and $15 (plus processing fee) for other runners registering in advance, with all entrants receiving a T-shirt and dinner; in-person, day-of registration is $20. There will be prizes for both events. Register at cocc.edu/sports.
The Jungle Run, slated for 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 7, is a two-mile loop that can be run as a two-mile or four-mile race, or two-mile walk. Featuring mud bogs, log bridges and several steep ascents and descents, the annual fun run begins at the Mazama track.
The Storm the Stairs race is a challenging two-mile run and walk, taking place at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, May 19, which starts at the Mazama track and navigates 465 stairs up, down and across the hilly slopes of the Bend campus, including through buildings.
