Running Central Oregon strong since 1976, CORK is where community, inclusivity, and miles of joy come together.
The Central Oregon Running Klub (CORK) has been the heartbeat of Bend’s running community for nearly five decades. From youth to masters, beginners to state champions, they welcome every runner with open arms and plenty of trail miles. CORK doesn’t just put on races—they maintain trails, coach the next generation, host weekly group runs, and create a space where everyone belongs. Whether you’re chasing PRs or just out for the fun of it, CORK is all about running together, giving back, and keeping the stoke alive in Central Oregon.
