Road Closures

Most road closures and detours will be in effect between the hours of 7:00 am and 12:45 pm. Between 7:00 and 7:45 am Police and event personnel will implement a soft closure along the entire race course. The races begin at 8:00 am, and streets will reopen on a rolling basis as soon as the last participant has passed and all course support materials have been removed. Streets along the earlier miles of the route will open earlier than roads along the end of the route. Please review the road closure grid and course map for more information. Residents and businesses located near the race course are urged to plan ahead and to be aware of road closure schedules and alternate access routes.

TriMet Detours

No Parking

Streets along the race course will be marked with No Parking signs.  Vehicles in violation of these posted signs will be courtesy towed.  For information on locating towed cars call 503-823-0044.
