Race Preview: 2014 Worst Day Of The Year Run
Not only will the race be fun, but the thirty-six dollar registration fee packs a nice bang for the buck. Included in the price are coffee, cocoa and cider along with freshly baked bread and soup from McMenamins, where the start and finish are located. As if that weren’t enough to entice you, you will also receive a medal.
The course includes two 1.55 mile laps on packed gravel with rolling hills and views of the Columbia River. Even though the race is officially a 5K, for something different those who desire can run four laps to make it an even 10K.
Colorful costumes (no doubt to counter the grey skies) are encouraged…especially grass skirts. Hawaiian Leis will be provided for each participant.
The race will benefit the Portland Police Bureau Sunshine Division…one of my favorite charities. They provide food and clothing to those in need, and have been doing so since 1923.
