The Bend Stroller Olympics
Welcome to The Bend Stroller Olympics — where parents, friends, and fierce competitors take their stroller game to the next level. This is part fun run, part absurd spectacle, and all community joy.
The 5K Stroller Roll
Bring your wheels (and your little legend) for a 5K cruise along Bend’s most iconic stretch of the Deschutes River. The route winds past the Old Mill smokestacks, under bridges, and along sparkling water before finishing at the big grassy field near The Pavilion — where the real party begins.
Walkers, joggers, and serious stroller sprinters all welcome.
All-terrain, double-wide, vintage pram — whatever rolls, goes.
Costumes encouraged. Matching family fits, double encouraged.
The After Party: Where the Real Games Begin
Cross the finish line and roll straight into the Stroller Olympics Arena — a laughter-filled field of optional challenges for anyone ready to test their “parent-athlete” prowess and metals will be dawned!
💨 Featured Events
The Stroller Obstacle Showdown – A mirrored head-to-head course with jumps, berms, balance beams, and big fans whipping up the drama.
Load & Unload Time Trial – Buckle the “baby” (a giant stuffed animal), stash the diaper bag, run “an errand”, and reverse the process.
Join to be part of the rest of them!

Plenty of grass for kids to play and adults to finally sit
