The Bend Trail Series is a set of four trail races held at different trailheads around Bend, Oregon. Each race uses a different course; individual race distances range from 4-7 miles.

Series standings include runners who participate in at least three of the four races. Prizes are awarded to top finishers in men, women, and non-binary categories. The final event includes awards presentations, a raffle, and a post-race beer provided by Cascade Lakes Brewing. Course maps are posted the Monday before each race on the event route page and on the event Facebook page.
