*Due to recent changes in fee structures in the City of Portland and to keep race entry fee reasonable, packet pickup is 0.9 miles away from the start and 0.4 miles away from the finish. Maps will be provided. Driving time is less than 5 minutes from each location. There will be 15 minutes between closing of packet pickup and race start to allow runners to assemble.
No Refunds. In the event of catastrophic weather, a public health crisis, or extreme events beyond race managements’ control every effort will be made to hold the race on an alternate date. If this is not possible, the race will be transformed to a virtual event where participants run the course & submit their results on their own.
