About the Portland Half Marathon

The Portland Half Marathon is separately listed, priced and scored within Portland Marathon weekend. It brings the production value of the larger event to runners seeking a 13.1-mile city course.

Course

The course starts and finishes in central Portland and mixes downtown streets with river-adjacent sections. Bridges, turns and gradual grade changes make even effort more useful than rigid pace targets.

Race-day weather

Early October in Portland often brings cool mornings, with rain a realistic possibility. Wet pavement and bridge wind can shape the race even when temperatures are favorable.
