Bachelor Summit Trailfest is here!
Wonderland Running is honored, thrilled, humbled AND STOKED to bring this unique, memorable, and resplendent alpine adventure for runners of all paces!
This is a truly one-of-a-kind alpine celebration of foot-powered adventure in our stunning local backyard volcanic playground: Mount Bachelor! Bachelor Summit Trailfest is the perfect way to shine a bright light upon our Central Oregon wildscapes & communities. These races take place high up on the Central Oregon Cascade’s Mount Bachelor. They are rugged up high, runnable down below, and breathtakingly beautiful everywhere.
We are grateful to be hosting the start/finish and race headquarters at both Westside Village at the base of the mountain & Pine Marten Lodge 1,400 feet above. These full facilities have restrooms, food, water, and festivities… as well as restaurants & cafes open for business! Of course, we will have three fully-stocked and fully festive aid stations. Use of the Pine Marten Chairlift is included in your registration too!
There is plenty of parking at Westside Village. Car & RV camping will be available in the Westside Village parking area. There is also plentiful nearby car, tent, and RV camping in Bend and the vast Deschutes National Forest.
We can’t wait to see you this October for mountains and merriment!
Bachelor Summit Trailfest take place upon lands of people who have called this home for thousands of years prior to colonization. Tribes with historic ties to the area include the Tenino, Wasco, Warm Springs, and Northern Paiute peoples.
