What is Running Solo?
Running Solo is SIX super fun running races held over 4 weeks on the trails in and around Bend, OR. Running Solo enables you to race how you want, when you want, against real racers on real courses for position, awesome prizes, and unlockable perks.
New for 2022, you can do the courses whenever and as often as you want starting June 26 through July 23rd! The first time you've completed each course, you'll unlock awesome perks like a $5 pub coupon from 10 Barrel, 2-for-1 go karting at K1 Speed, and other local sponsors.
But wait there's more, every time you complete a course, you add another entry into a weekly raffle with killer prizes K1 Speed, Banana Phone, and other awesome sponsors.
All you need is a pair of shoes, some hydration (recommended), and a GPS-enabled device like a Garmin, Wahoo, or smart phone.

How does it work?
- You can register for all of the races or just one.
- You’re racing against other runners, just not necessarily at the same time.
- For each race, you’re welcome to do as many attempts as you'd like during the race window.
- Load each race course onto your device by downloading it from the race web page.
- The courses are loops. That means wherever you start on the course is your start/finish line. So you don’t need to start your activity tracker when you start your effort. Just run on into the course. As soon as you are on-course, that’s your start line, and your finish line. Just make sure to run through where you started!
- Track your race attempts using your GPS-enabled activity tracker or smartphone.
- Sync efforts either by exporting a GPX file from your activity tracker or smartphone. You can also automatically sync using your Strava account.
- You must register for the stage before running it to count for the standings (i.e. no running first and then registering).
- You must follow the published course closely. If you deviate from the course by 200 meters or more, your race attempt will be excluded from the rankings.
- Your fastest race attempt counts during the time window.
- Efforts must be submitted within 24 hours from the time the attempt has started.
- Login and track your progress on the race leaderboards and activity feed.
- The race series calculates scores for all efforts during the 4-week series timeframe. Awards will be presented for top finishers in each Gender and Category.
- Post photos and videos to the socials using #runningsolo #bendoregon #10barrel
Is this a “virtual” event?
Categorically, NO.
Virtual events allow participants to run anywhere regardless of terrain and difficulty. Running Solo participants all have to race the same routes, roughly during the same time, but on your own schedule! In other words, you're running “with” or racing “against” other participants on the same course, just not necessarily at the same time.
- So. The first and BIGGEST difference. You're competing on the same course as everyone else. Only, you’re able to race it whenever and however many times you want. On your own! Each race takes place over the race window. Go as many times as you’d like to hit your best time.
- The second difference is the way the courses work. They’re loops. So wherever you first enter the course becomes your start finish line. That being said, our course maps start and end in a specific place. So you’ll need to edit them if you plan to start/finish somewhere else.
