Event Shirts

Shirts for this event are a cotton/magic fabric (polyester) that I personally find delightful to wear while running or hoisting one at the pub. Always soft next to the skin and seem to hold off the Tech T perma stink. Try one, I think you will like it.

Post Race Festivities

Deschutes Brewery will be hosting a Beer Garden serving Twilight Ale. Food will be available for racers only. Musical entertainment will accompany the post race party.

Awards

Awards will be given to the overall male and female and overall masters (40+) male and female.

Parking

Shevlin Hixon Drive will be closed due to Brewfest so plan on parking near River Bend park, the dog park, or along the street near Mckay Park. Better yet ride a bike or jog down for a warm up.

The Cause
