ABOUT THE EVENT
3rd Annual.....Due to the large void in Portland’s summer running schedule and the feedback from athletes on what was once one of the City’s most popular events, AA Sports brought back the Cascade Run Off 15K run, with an accompanying 3-Miler.

The 15K is USAT&F Certifed, and part of the 2008 USAT&F-Oregon Grand Prix Series.

The post race party at the finish line (the World Trade Center) will offer food, music, and lots of fun. Come join us for truly great mid-summer adventure.
