About the Prineville Paddy Pint
Making a difference in our community
Your participation in Prineville’s Paddy Pint Run benefits the The Dental Foundation of Oregon’s Tooth Taxi, a mobile dental clinic dedicated to advancing oral health education, providing charitable care, and coordinating resources for vulnerable children. But that’s not all! Over the years, you’ve helped us support Crook County Foundation, and many programs that promote healthy lifestyles in Crook County such as elementary school physical education and run club programs, school track and tennis, Young Life youth program, CCP&R Happy Healthy Hearts financial assistance for those unable to afford CCP&R programs, 4-H Roots and Shoots gardening club, and Crook County On The Move programs such as their Walking Groups, A Time of Hope cancer awareness walk and Mobility for Life chair-based exercise program.
A Prineville Tradition since 2013
The first Prineville Paddy Pint was held in 2013 when Tony Ramos & Ochoco Dental managed to get a few dozen runners to show up in downtown Prineville, on a cold Sunday morning, in hopes of winning a toothbrush.
Since then, this event has grown into an annual Prineville tradition with up to 600 runners and walkers lining up on the start line! We now have fun family events on both Saturday and Sunday—such as the Prineville Ride About Bike Event—and a lively post-race awards party at Pioneer Park, featuring local food trucks, games, and drinks.
Whether we’re running in shorts and t-shirt or shoveling 6 inches of snow off the route the night before, Paddy Pint is always a blast!
