He looks like he’s dying, but he’s still giving us a thumbs-up. That’s the Bend Beast spirit. 😂👍

Exhausted? Absolutely.
Would do it again? We’re taking that thumb as a yes.

THE BEAST IS EVOLVING.

Horseshoe Bend OCR is becoming BEND BEAST OCR, combining trail running, obstacles, and fitness challenges in Page, Arizona.

Two races. Two seasons. One beast.

🔥 SPRING — Bend Beast OCR
Climb, crawl, carry, and run. Obstacles meet fitness for a challenge that will leave you feeling accomplished—and possibly horizontal.

💪 FALL — Bend Beast Hybrid Fitness
Desert trail running and demanding fitness stations that put your strength and endurance to the test.

We’re aiming for that finish-line feeling: nothing left in the tank, but the thumb still works. 👍

Dates and details coming soon. Tag a friend who’s ready to take on the Beast!

🐗 BEND BEAST PAID STAFF NEEDED! 🐗

Bend Beast is a one-of-a-kind hybrid fitness race through the rugged desert near Horseshoe Bend. Athletes will tackle a 12K trail run and eight demanding workout stations, testing their strength, endurance, and grit. We call it the World’s Hardest Hybrid!

We need energetic people to help us bring the event to life:

Friday, September 18 | 12:00–8:00 PM
Help set up the course and event area. Work as many hours as you’re available—we may need some people for all eight hours and others for as few as three.

💰 $20 per hour
⏱️ Three-hour minimum

Saturday, September 19 | 6:00 AM–12:00 PM
Get a front-row seat to the action while working one of our event stations! Help keep the station running smoothly, bring the energy, hype up the competitors, and cheer them through one of the toughest challenges of the race. You’ll be right in the middle of the excitement and helping create an unforgettable experience for the athletes!

Want to bring a friend, spouse, or family member to help and cheer with you? Absolutely! Just keep in mind that there is only one paid position per station, so the $75 is paid once per station.

💰 $75 per station
👕 Free Bend Beast shirt
🍳 Free breakfast and lunch

Saturday, September 19 | 12:00–4:00 PM
Help tear down the course, clean up the event area, and pack everything away.

You can help with one shift or any combination of shifts.

Interested? Comment below or send us a message with the shift—or shifts—you’re available to work!
