2013 Portland Marathon  October 6, 2013

For many years the Portland Marathon has been rated as one of the premier marathon events in the United States. It has been ranked as one of the top 10 local road race events in the U.S, and one of the top 40 races of all types and distances.

Runner’s World has called the Portland Marathon “the best people’s marathon in the West” and for the past ten years has ranked it as one of the top 10 or 15 marathons in the country. Runner’s World also states that “perhaps more than any other running event in the country, this race keeps evolving, keeps getting better”. Runner’s World has chosen the Portland Marathon as the “Race of the Month” and said the event is one of the “friendliest, best organized most family-oriented races in the country.”

Join us today!

Here at Susan G. Komen, we are prepared to dedicate the time and resources it takes to recruit, train and help support you in reaching your 26.2 (or 13.1) mile goal. In order to participate with Marathon for the Cure, you will need to commit to a fundraising minimum. This number is set to keep our program costs low and to ensure your donations are utilized to maximize our investment in breast cancer research, screening, education and treatment.
