I signed up for the Race 4 the Roses 1/2 Marathon, anyone else interested? Ran this one last year. It is a different run though Portland. Starts over by Naito Parkway (where most start), goes slightly uphill to Barbur Blvd., then winds it's way through downtown Portland (mostly downhill) all the way down to the Pearl district (part of the Portland marathon course), then back to Naito over the steel bridge and finish at the Convention center.
This is a nice race if it is cold and/or rainy. You can wait inside the Convention center until the last minute where it is warm. Quickly go outside run the race and go back inside where it is warm and where the awards ceremony is held.
They also have normal bathrooms rather than Port-a-potties.
