Details
Open to both runners and walkers, the Race For The Roses Half Marathon
& 5K starts and finishes at the Oregon Convention Center in
downtown Portland, next to the Willamette River. Described by
organizers as "scenic and fast," the course takes participants on a
tour of many of the city's most notable attractions showing off both
"halves" of the city: "one part metropolitan quirkiness, the other
active outdoorsiness." Roses are given out along with medals at the
finish line ceremony.
