We're in the Portland area, and there's not much that anyone can call flat & fast...But this one is.  A great run all in the park & so it's super kid friendly as well. We'll be chip timing the start & finish, so if you're looking for a PR...this could be your event.

We have awesome award medals in the following categories:   Top 3 overall M/F, Top 3 overall masters M/F, Overall grand master's M/F, Overall Sr. master's M/F, Top 3 in each of the normal 5 year age groups...PLUS: 6 years & Under, 7 & 8 years, 9 & 10 years, 11-14, 15-19, through 75+.   Awesome race shirts to all participants...guaranteed & in your size if you register by 6/8.  Water bottle blaster squirt gun with one water bottle (but you're welcome to bring your own too)

We do not mail water guns to virtual participants

 

What's better than squirting your kids...Bringing all your buddies so they can squirt their kids too. So grab the people you know (or don't know). Share your morning with other like minded folks and score a great discount.
