Pebbles 0.5K Fun Run

Short Run. Big Fun.

Not quite ready for a 5K? Perfect. Our mascot Pebbles the River Otter invites you to something a little more… manageable. Join us for the First Annual Pebbles 0.5K Fun Run Loop at Riverhouse Lodge, a delightfully short and family-friendly run (or stroll, skip, dance, or otter-waddle) around the property to round out Memorial Day Weekend in Bend.

The loop begins at the Riverhouse Lodge Front Desk, winds along the scenic paths near the Deschutes River and the Riverhouse Convention Center, and circles back to where the fun began. It’s just enough distance to get the wiggles out before breakfast—and just short enough that everyone can keep up.

Expect high-fives, laughs, and plenty of Pebbles sightings along the way as our playful river otter mascot cheers on runners of all ages.

Whether you're traveling with family, staying for the holiday weekend, or just looking for fun things to do in Bend on Memorial Day weekend, this is the perfect way to start your Sunday morning.

No training required.
Running shoes optional.
Otter-level enthusiasm encouraged.

Come run the shortest race of your life and celebrate the first annual Pebbles 0.5K Fun Run Loop at Riverhouse Lodge.
