Event Description
For 45 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, Best in the Northwest, Best Marathon for First Timers and the most Walker-Friendly Marathon in the Country.
