If you’re like me, you saw the name of this race and wondered what was going to be bare! Rest assured, racers at this Bend event will be fully dressed, but grinning from ear to ear knowing that they are supporting Healthy Beginnings and promoting Good Teeth, Great Grins (a collaboration of area dentists.)
The 13th Annual Grin and Bear It consists of a 5K, 10K, and a 1 mile family fun run. Starting and ending at the Les Schwab amphitheater, the course will wind through area neighborhoods that surround the Deschutes River and Farewell Bend Park. The 10K will cover the 5K route twice. The 1 mile family fun run stays in the Old Mill District and is flat and paved.
Overall and age group awards will be given and all participants will be eligible for prize drawings.
All proceeds from this March 7th race will go towards the Healthy Beginnings’ 12 Point Kid Inspection Clinics throughout Central Oregon. These include health, dental, social skills and behavior, vision, car seat safety, nutrition, hearing, infant and toddler development, concepts, motor, speech, and emergency preparedness for children up to age 5.
