FreeThis is a free, unsupported ultramarathon, back for its second running. We start in SE Portland’s Brooklyn Park, head along the Esplanade to the Sellwood Bridge and go north through Waterfront Park. Next is up NW Thurman and along the length of Leif Eriksen before descending to the St John’s Bridge and a trip through Overlook, back onto the Esplanade to finish the loop.
It’s 31.5 miles, with about 1200 feet of gain. About 20 of the miles are car-free. There’s a mix of pavement, dirt/gravel on Leif, and a half mile of narrower trail to connect Leif to the St Johns Bridge. No support available on-course, but plenty of water fountains and cafes and stores… aside from your stretch in Forest Park, of course.
