Event Description
PORTLAND ROSE FESTIVAL 13.1 RUN
A unique racing experience: The Rose Festival Point One Run!
Keeping the running tradition alive, the Portland Rose Festival is introducing the world’s SHORTEST Half Marathon: The Point One Run! Forget about those other 13 miles. We’re focusing on the most important part, the final one tenth of a mile to the finish line!
This event takes place on Saturday, May 27 at 10:30 a.m., with an official course that starts AND stays inside CityFair, racing from the Morrison Bridge south to the RoZone.
Surrounded by the serene ambience of the festival’s CityFair food court, the Point One Run invites runners to ‘race’ 528 feet in less than 45 minutes, while negotiating unique beverage stations, groups of clowns and cheering family and friends.
Creative apparel is appreciated!
