ABOUT THE EVENT:
Last year, more than 4,000 runners and walkers crossed the finish line in all three races at the Fall running of Portland's Run Like Hell Half Marathon, 10K & 5K. Run Like Hell is a Halloween-themed race that sees participants dress out in full costume for a run through Portland’s urban parks and along its waterfront areas along the Willamette River. Now a running tradition in Portland, the race celebrates its 8th annual running in 2010.

This year, we decided that it would be fun to have a theme that would allow people to dress up and compete for the best dressed individual and group as that theme. We will still have the contest for all the other great costumes, we just thought this would be a fun addition to the party. Therefore the theme for 2010 is “Alice in Wonderland”.
THERE IS A 3/12 HR LIMIT ON THE 1/2 MARATHON.

THERE ARE FINISHER MEDALS FOR EVERYONE WHO COMPLETES THE HALF MARATHON.
