About the race
Mistletoe Miler is a seasonal, untimed 3-mile fun run and walk scheduled for December 5, 2026, in Bend, Oregon. The course starts and finishes at Bend Brewing Company and follows the Deschutes River Trail. The event is held each year on the first Saturday of December and is presented by Cascade Relays. The event is open to all ages and includes three themed photo stops staffed by professional photographers.
Registered participants receive a custom race bib and entry into costume and photo contests with prizes. The first 500 registrants receive a limited-edition holiday scarf. The on-course experience includes music, themed photo opportunities, and other festive surprises.
Participants who show their race bib at Bend Brewing Company are eligible for $2 off drinks. 2026 registration fees are listed as $45 for adults ages 18 and up and $25 for youth ages 2 to 17. The Cascade Relays organization produces the event and its foundation supports local nonprofit and community organizations. The Mistletoe Miler is presented as a community-focused, festive event that connects a short recreational run with downtown holiday activities, including the nearby Bend Christmas Parade following the event.
