MT. BACHELOR SPORTS EDUCATION FOUNDATION is the leading Northwest nonprofit sports training organization dedicated to promoting positive core values within the Central Oregon youth community. The 36th Annual U.S. Bank Pole Pedal Paddle (PPP), a multi-stage fundraising race that features the Northwest’s premiere athletes as well as “weekend warriors,” will start on Mt. Bachelor and end in Bend on Saturday, May 19. During the event, teams, pairs and individuals participate in six sequential legs, each defined by a particular athletic category: Alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, cycling, running, canoeing/kayaking and sprinting. Money raised through this event helps support the Mt. Bachelor Sports Education Foundation (MBSEF), a nonprofit organization that provides youth programs dedicated to promote competitive Alpine racing, cross-country skiing, snowboarding and cycling. More than 500 volunteers provide the backbone of the race by helping in every aspect of the event, from registration and security at leg exchanges to traffic control and aid stations. With the support and permission of the Mt. Bachelor ski area and the U.S. Forest Service, MBSEF coaches and trains youths and adults to improve and compete at their best personal level of competition. Approximately 550 athletes participate in the MBSEF winter programs, and 50 to 60 athletes enroll in the summer cycling programs. MBSEF coaches more than 100 adult master skiers, honing their skills for competition in master races held throughout the country. Athletes compete locally, regionally and nationally, and some of MBSEF’s athletes have gone on to compete on an international level. For more information about PPP, or to volunteer to help, visit the PPP website at www.pppbend.com, or call 541-388-0002.

First off is the Alpine leg, which starts with a mad dash uphill to the starting line from the top of the Pine Marten lift. The run is considered intermediate in difficulty. All participants must wear a helmet and negotiate the gates on their way to the exchange point by West Village Lodge.

Second is the cross-country or Nordic leg, in which skiers can choose either classic or free/skate technique. The 8K loop treats participants to the exhilarating descents and gradual climbs of the groomed Mt. Bachelor Nordic Center trails. The loop winds around the parking lot and finishes at the bike exchange point in front of the Nordic Lodge.

KID’S MINI PPP The U.S. Bank Kid’s Mini PPP, presented by Bend Memorial Clinic and the Outback Steakhouse, will take place Sunday, May 20 in the Old Mill District from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. This race has doubled in size since moving the venue from Harmon Park to the Les Schwab Amphitheater in 2006. Last year there were more than 1,200 first through six graders who competed in this fun and exciting race. All six members of a team paddle down the Deschutes

River with their rafting guide on board. Just past the footbridge in the Old Mill District, the rafters exit their boat, while one grabs their bike and rides the course on Shevlin Hixon. Once the biker comes back to the Amphitheater, they tag a teammate who then completes a fun obstacle course. Once the four team members have completed the obstacle course, the fifth member of the team finishes with a sprint around the obstacle course.

After each heat, ribbons are handed out immediately to the racers as soon as they cross the finish line. New this year, the Outback Steakhouse will feed all kid racers from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Les Schwab Amphitheater. They just need to show them their race number in order to receive their free meal. Trader Joe’s will also be on hand at the finish line, giving out refreshing healthy treats and drinks.

This event is run solely by volunteers from the Hasson Company Realtors, Sunriver Resort, Sun Country Tours, Seventh Mountain Resort, Sunnyside Sports and MBSEF. These volunteers put in very long days in order for the event to run smoothly and safely. So if your child is participating in the U.S. Bank Kid’s Mini PPP, please remind them to say thank you to these wonderful community members.
