Portland marathon is clearly a big deal in this town! Lots of enthusiastic people watching and cheering, especially throughout the neighborhoods. Production was flawless.
October is the perfect time to run a race in Portland – the crisp air is nice, and the route views are wonderful. Good energy, music, and tons of spectators to uplift your spirits to keep you going until the end.
Our goal was photos, fun and finish so my expectations were not high and this Race over delivered!! The scenery was amazing!! The party at the finish line was sooooo fun with a beer garden with a free beer and a complimentary big voodoo donut!
