This month’s shoe sponsor is Brooks – my favorite – so get there early if you want to test some out. The July beer is another one of my favorites: 10 Barrel Brewing. Did you know, by the way, they have a Portland brewpub at 1411 NW Flanders?
Also there will be a team from the Oregon Wine Country Half Marathon, the Xterra crew, and the Neon Glow Run; Garmin, Pocketfuel, and locally-owned North Lake PT, Portland Juice Company, and Stride Strong.
New to First Thursday? It’s easy. Show up by about 5:45 and get ready for the big maps to come out. Note the checkpoints revealed at 6p and then collect as many checkpoints as possible in an hour. Be back by 7p, drop your raffles in the drawing, and listen for your number to win a sweet prize!
