41st Annual Portland Marathon &
3rd Annual Portland Marathon HALF

October 7, 2012

For forty years the Portland Marathon has been welcoming participants to the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Accolades from Runner’s World Magazine include: Best US Race in October, one of the Ten Greenest Races and the most Walker-Friendly Marathon in the Country.

Both our Full and Half Marathon courses are fast and forgiving, with more entertainment per mile than other events, along with excellent volunteer support, and great goodies at the finish including: a mint-struck proof finisher’s medal, two performance shirts, a challenge coin and pendant, to name just a few!

Join us in 2012...but hurry, registration for the HALF closes January 31st, and the full marathon will sell out in early summer. To learn more, or to register, go to: portlandmarathon.org
