VENDORS & PRIZE SPONSORS ARE NEEDED FOR 2025!
The SELCO Pole Pedal Paddle is the quintessential event of Bend, with over 5,000 racers/spectators in Riverbend park for both the Run-to-Paddle transition as well as for the finish. It’s the largest multi-sport event in Oregon, and a great opportunity for you to market your business to over 5,000 outdoor recreation enthusiasts.
We hope you will join the PPP’s finish celebration as a Vendor, Exhibitor or Prize Sponsor. Please use application links at the bottom of this page for Exhibitors and Vendors, and feel free to reach out to our team via email to express interest in becoming a Prize Sponsor, who often also manage a booth in the Finish Expo.
SELCO PPP – MAY 17th 2025
The race begins at Mt. Bachelor Ski Resort at 9:15 a.m with the first racers expected to reach the finish line between 11:00 and 11:15am. Because our new course utilizes Riverbend Park for both our run-to-paddle transition and our finish area, spectators may be ready for viewing and making purchases as early as 10:30, when the first runners are due to reach the transition zone. Please keep this in mind, and be ready for customers no later than 10:45 a.m. The day will likely start slow, and then people will come in droves by lunchtime. After 11:30 a.m., there will be a steady stream of racers crossing the finish line. This continues up until about 2:30 p.m. People are then milling around socializing, looking at all the booths and hanging out. Awards are given out on the stage from about 3:15 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. At 4:00 p.m. vendors may break down and start loading up to go.
