PDX Geek 5K May 28, 2011
Portland, Oregon
* NEW STARTING LOCATION*
Please join me for a 5K (3 mile) walk or run on the Vera Katz Eastbank Esplanade. We will pick up the trail at Water St/Main St. (near the firehouse) and walk North until we get to the Steel bridge (1.5 miles, 2.5K), then we will turn back around.

This is going to be a very informal event. No time chips, just a group of friends getting together to enjoy getting smelly & sweaty! This will be a kid friendly, jogging stroller, dog friendly event.
Please bring your breakfast/lunch and join us for a "picnic" after the walk at our starting point.

Hey Brian, If the event goes well, I might do them quarterly, so you can join us at the next one!

Not clear when everyone will run. 8am? Says it goes to 11pm, so... somewhere in there? :)

Hi Patrick,
Since it is very informal, people can start when they want, but I am aiming for 8:15 am.

Awesome! I'll try to come, not sure if I'll make it. But since you said such nice things about my novella-length post, I'll be there in spirit, regardless. :-)

I'm really interested, but realised that I too like Brian, will be in George, WA. But great idea! Let's do another one again.

Jason, Sharon: Glad to hear you are interested, I figured it was time to stop talking about it and actually do it! Like I said, we may make this a regular thing. :)

This is awesome - I have been looking for walking events that didn't require me to pay a fee. Miss Burrows FTW!!
