Portland Marathon Clinic run for Saturday, August 30, 2014
The route from Road Runner Sports in Tualatin offers a neighborhood tour of Tualatin, using residential streets (read: shaded) and lower-traffic roads for most of the route. Best of all, there is a Panera Bread and a Starbucks right in the same shopping center as RRS for your post-run snack!
Remember to bring your own hydration and some food for your run, whether you prefer gel, blocks, or good old fashioned e-caps and orange slices. A hat and sunscreen are a must, too, so you can actually enjoy your holiday weekend instead of nursing a sunscreen.
Here’s the rest of the schedule:
All runs are on Saturdays and start promptly at 8a, so be there by 7:45 at the very latest for instructions and to use the restroom before you start. Click on the location for a Google map showing you where to go. For directions, click on “Get Directions” and enter your starting address.
August 30, 2014: 16 miles from Road Runner Sports in Tualatin
September 6, 2014: 20 miles – Park at Willamette Park in Portland, the running route is top secret! This is the Brunch Run, which requires a ticket because runners are bused to a secret location and then served a delicious brunch after the run. If you plan to participate, don’t wait to buy your $10 ticket once they’re available in August. This sells out every year; and we’re not just saying that … it’s a hot ticket!
