Set among the country roads of Hillsboro, Oregon, just west of
Beaverton and Portland, the Helvetia Half Marathon starts and finishes
at the city's Hillsboro Stadium and features a beer garden party at the
finish line. The race course's first two miles are flat and slightly
downhill, followed by a challenging steady climb over miles 2 through
5. The last half of the race is mostly flat, fast and downhill.
