Join us for our 6th Annual Heroes on the Run – Presented by Subaru of Bend!
Get ready for Street Dog Hero’s biggest event of the year — a dog-friendly 5K, 10K, and Kids Mini-Run in beautiful Riverbend Park. Every step you take will change a dog’s life!
Your registration helps give dogs from around the world and right here in Central Oregon a second chance. This year, our goal is to raise $100,000 so we can say “yes” to even more dogs in need.
We’ll run, walk, and celebrate our shared love for dogs, while funding rescue and expanding our life-saving spay & neuter clinics here at home and around the world.
Whether you’re racing for a personal best, strolling with friends, or showing off your four-legged teammate, you’ll be part of a community coming together to help dogs everywhere.
- Choose your distance: 5K, 10K, or Kids Mini-Run
- Bring along a PAWticipant – leashed, friendly dogs welcome!
- All participants receive a finisher medal, race t-shirt, swag bag, one free raffle entry & FREE BEER (21+)!

- Top finishers get to head to the prize table, where you’ll find gift cards ranging from $25 to $100 at some of Bend’s best businesses — from dining to wellness to specialty shops. Run fast, and you might walk away with a steak dinner at Rancher Butcher Chef!
