lululemon Bend: Run + Walk Club

We’ll offer two route options — one for walkers and one for runners — so everyone can move at a pace that feels comfortable and welcoming. No experience necessary, and all fitness levels are encouraged to join. This event is part of our recurring monthly Walk/Run Club, happening on the first Wednesday of every month at 5:30 PM. After the walk/run, stick around to connect with the community and enjoy complimentary snacks and drinks.
