La Pine Loop 2025

Warmer Temps, Faster River, more excitement

race overview

The La Pine Loop is Bend Racing’s (and Oregon’s) longest running adventure race. This event has sold out the past few years, and is a perfect “season finale”. It's a great course for all levels as it's flat, which makes it easier on the body but if you go for the pro points, harder on the navigation!

It includes a beautiful river paddle, lots of river crossings, easy mountain biking, and fun and challenging navigation!

It's a great course for all levels, even kids do this race with their families!!

This course will be eligible for USARA ranking points.
