I’ve run this race several times, as well as many others at The Reserve. It’s way out in the northwest part of the Portland metro area, but traffic has always been smooth on Saturday mornings, and there’s plenty of parking at The Reserve. There aren’t as many truly costumed runners at this event as there are at, say, the Halloweenathon, but usually there are a good number of runners dressed in green. Course support is good, the atmosphere is fun, and there’s post-race eating – what could be better?
