LODGING / LOGISTICS
Getting to Redmond/Bend
The best place to fly into is Redmond Airport. It is a 5 min drive from Redmond and a 20 min drive from Bend. We are still sorting out transportation to and from but there will be one shuttle before the race and one shuttle after. We can not do multiple days or times.
Lodging
This race will hopefully have a race HQ and it does offer two room nights in our registration fee. More details to come soon.

Bend and Redmond are amazing towns that are surrounded by family friendly hiking and biking trails, rivers, and beautiful mountains.
