This is an all volunteer effort. Proceeds to benefit Partners for World Health, Portland Trails, the St. Patrick’s Secondary School in Iten, Kenya and various area non - profits.
Our food drive, now in it's 41st year, will benefit Project Feed, an area emergency food pantry. Please consider bringing non-perishable items to donate on race day!
