Strava heat map for the win.
What type of running are you going for? Bend (once the snow melts) has a little bit of everything. I imagine the network of single track from Phil’s trailhead is melted out by now. Shevlin park is very popular. There are multiple tracks open to the public. Lots of low-grade forest roads on the west side. Long, paved and gravel paths along the Deschutes.
If you’re looking for vert while the Cascades are still snow-covered, go to Cline Butte or Smith Rock, or the much shorter pilot butte closer to town.
Footzone is a nice running shop and I believe they still do weekly group runs.
Bend is not a very good running town, tbh.
Bend is amazing. Of course, it depends where you live and if you want to drive before you do a run.
Here are my favorite routes:
NONSENSE.
What part of town are you in?
Shevlin Park is excellent.
Endless miles of trails in the Deschutes National Forest, but avoid the dog park side. It’s a large off leash area and too much hassle. The other side century (highway) is MUCH better.
Then there’s the Deschutes River trail, multiple starting points.
The Central Oregon Canal Trail is excellent too, pretty flat.
It is an amazing place for running. All of the above are soft but very runnable surfaces.
Let me add, Central Oregon Community College if you need a track.
I heard China Hat Road is an excellent way to meet up with Bends finest. Or maybe the east side of hwy 97 heading north to Redmond. Either way, theyll be happy to wrlcome a New Yorker.
Thanks all !
