The “Flat,” as we affectionately call it, is about the flattest half and full marathon on the West Coast. All participants receive gorgeous medals and a certified & chip-timed courses. The races start early to avoid the heat and temperatures hover in the low 60's at the start to mid 70's by the finish (even if there is a daytime high expected to be in the 90's!). Situated just 15 minutes north of downtown Portland, Sauvie Island is an outdoor wonderland with small family farms, tons of wildlife, and views of the river. Flat, certified courses, gorgeous scenery, and a fantastic start and finish venue at the famous Pumpkin Patch on Sauvie Island!
