Race details:
Date: 5/19/2013Distance: Half Marathon
Location: Portland, OR
The main reason why I chose the Rock n Roll Portland run was to visit my friend that lives in Portland, OR. So I planned my Portland visit around my run for the Rock n Roll Portland half marathon. This race was my 4th half marathon but the first time I ran in Portland. Its also my first time visiting Portland, so this run was a great way to have a scenic tour of Portland. Weather was great during the run and thankfully it didn't rain during the run. WOOT!
Much like every Rock n Roll race, this race was well organized. There were plenty of water/Gatorade station every mile and half. The race started and ended along the water. 23 corrals and released in intervals of 2-3 minutes in between corrals. At the end of the half marathon, you receive your runners medal! Also the standards post-run snacks and drinks; bagels, banana, Greek yogurt, chocolate milk, water, Gatorade.
Overall I had a great experience on Portland Rock n Roll. And I would love to do this run again. :D
Look who I found at the expo! |
