Describe your race day.

Starting the race a day break was amazing, running through the beautiful trees with the colors of the sky changing was perfect!
The ultra positive environment of the race was awesome!
Did you PR?

Nope, I am still getting back into shape after an injury so it was more like a training run with my sister!
How would you describe the course?

The scenery was gorgeous!! The first 10 miles before going onto HWY 26 were so perfect, secluded back roads with many many happy, encouraging volunteers along the way. The grade was kinda perfect, slow gradual downhill with some surprise inclines that were very manageable.
Tell us about your training.

I run usually 20-30 miles a week. I would encourage others to train for this half marathon.
What advice would you give future runners?

Travelers Tips : Stay close to the start, Gresham, Troutdale or Sandy to make the shuttle process easier and not so early for race day if you can.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

Farmer's Market in all the local towns is on Saturday.
