Course
This event is open to all skills and abilities. This course is 5k (3.1 miles) starting and finishing in Bend's beautiful Drake Park. The course takes you south toward the historic Old Mill District and Mill Point Business Park, winds back through McKay Park and residential neighborhoods, and returns to Drake Park where festivities and the finish line await. The route is mostly flat with hills on Columbia and Shevlin-Hixon. The course will be well marked. Aid stations will offer water, and volunteers along the course will encourage and help direct participants. View race map
Strollers, Pets & More
To ensure that all participants have a safe and enjoyable experience during the Heaven Can Wait event, we ask that you please do not bring with you onto the course any pets, rollerblades, wagons, bicycles or other wheeled devices with the exception of wheelchairs or other mobility equipment.. Participants who plan to take young children with them onto the course are asked to walk, rather than run, with any strollers or other wheeled child carriers.
Celebration
Honor cancer survivors in our community with festivities at the finish line including music, food, massages and exhibitor booths offering cancer prevention information, free mammogram sign-ups for eligible women and information on local programs and services. Bring your family and friends and join in the celebration.
Awards
Prizes will be awarded in the survivor category only — 1st, 2nd and 3rd for both female and male. Public acknowledgement will be made for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners for all categories in 5-year age increments (up to age 70, which will be classified as 70 and over). A ribbon table will be set up and manned and all 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners, male and female, will be directed there to pick up ribbons.
