Course Description

The Portland Half Marathon is a beautiful experience with a nice flat run through lovely NorthShore Country Club neighborhoods and natural scenery around Sunset Lake. After a brief stretch along Broadway Blvd., runners next turn onto old Wildcat Dr. for a stretch that takes them toward Violet Andrews Park and then to Sunset Lake. This is the middle stretch of the race and is marked by a nice slope along the way, but otherwise a flat, even course. When runners reach the mid-way point they will turn back near Indian Point Pier. They will return to the Portland Community Center at the Start/Finish.
