Lay It Out Events produces more than 20 festivals, races and contract events each year. We do everything from Balloons Over Bend to Theater In The Park.

Through these events, LIOE donates a portion of proceeds to local nonprofit organizations. We raise awareness and much-needed funds for vital nonprofit groups across the Northwest. In the past 10 years, LIOE has donated over $225,000 to local charities and nonprofits.

At LIOE we are looking forward to another year of inspiring events that bring not only fun but awareness to the entire community.

Kids Rock Races

Does your kid want to join in on the fun? Are you hoping to instill your love for the run, outdoors, competitive nature? Not only are the Kids Rock the Races Series fun for kids to be a part of the “Big Kid” races but it’s also an important part of developing a healthy lifestyle. The below races are non-competitive and everyone receives a finishers ribbon and fun/tasty treats for participating.
