elk lake endure AR 2023
race overview
Elk lake played host to one of our early area adventure races nearly a decade ago, and its natural splendor and classic Cascade terrain brings us back again and again for our team’s training. This year’s race will mimic one of Team Bend Racing’s personal training courses and is sure to pack a punch in terms of Adventure Rac value!
