Sunburst Races

Sunburst Races

The Sunburst Races presented by KeyBank, will once again kick off summer in The Bend! Race day is officially set for Saturday, May 30, 2026. We are proud to offer events for all fitness levels, including a half marathon, 10K run, 5K run, and a 5K fitness walk.

Strollers, joggers, wagons, and baby carriers are allowed in the 5K Fitness Walk only. No bikes, scooters, skates, rollerblades, or similar items are permitted in any event due to safety/trip hazards.

For kids who want to walk or run, the minimum age for participation in the 5K or 10K is 6 years of age (on race day) and the minimum age for participation in the half marathon is 10 years of age (on race day). All kids, ages 6 and up, who are participating must be registered.

All events start and finish at the Century Center. There will be a beer garden for those 21 and older (ID required) and a family fun zone with activities for our youngest Sunburst-ers.

All race proceeds and donations will continue to benefit Beacon Children's Hospital. Participant fundraising through RunSignup is available.

Packet Pickup Information: Participants have 2 options to get their full packets (bib and shirt). These include: picking up in person (or having someone pick up for them) at Packet Pickup on Friday, May 29 at the Century Center from 12:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. or by selecting the mailing option when registering for the race (the mailing option is available until May 8). For race morning pickup, ONLY BIBS are guaranteed at the information tent.

In 2026, we celebrate the 42nd running of Sunburst Races.
