The deadline to register online for the 2026 SELCO Pole Pedal Paddle is Monday.

The PPP, celebrating 50 years, is scheduled for Saturday, May 16, and includes teams, pairs and individuals competing in running, cycling and paddling on a course from Mount Bachelor to Bend.

While the race usually includes downhill and cross-country skiing, those stages are being replaced with running stages due to a lack of snow. The course will include a 2.8-mile “mountain run” and a 1.3-mile “fun run” at Bachelor, in addition to the usual 5-mile run in Bend.

For more information and to register, visit pppbend.com.
