Well, friends, it’s official. Summer is almost over. But there is still one First Thursday Urban Adventure Run on the calendar for 2016, so be sure to add it to your schedule!
Here are the details:
When: Thursday, Thursday, Sept 1, 2016
What time: The run starts at 6p but people start showing up as early as 5:15p
Where: On NW 22nd Ave, between Quimby and Raleigh, near Fleet Feet PDX at 2258 NW Raleigh
Register: Onsite by signing a waiver, or ahead of time online here for a few extra raffle tickets when you check in
Bring: Headlamp, reflective vest, phone/camera, warm clothes to change into, your ID if you plan on getting a beer
Park: On surface streets
This is a fun run and walk, which starts when Fleet Feet PDX team members bring out the big maps showing that month’s checkpoints. You get to as many as you want to or can (not always the same thing) and back to the start area by 7p, where you turn in your raffle tickets and then see if you win any awesome prizes!
This is NOT a race, and aside from the event site, no roads are closed, so run on sidewalks and obey all traffic signals. Use good judgment and remember that many drivers only care about getting home and aren’t expecting swarms of runners to surround their vehicle. And take a moment to thank the sponsor stores (usually the checkpoints) for their support!
