SELCO Pole, Pedal, Paddle

Held each May, the SELCO Pole Pedal Paddle has been a tradition in Central Oregon tradition since 1976 and annually attracts thousands of competitors from throughout the Northwest and beyond.

The multi-sport race includes alpine and cross-country skiing, cycling, running, and kayaking, and stretches from the slopes of Mt. Bachelor to the finish line in Bend’s Old Mill District. Athletes of all ages compete in divisions ranging in skill level from novice to elite, and either individually or as part of a team.
