From that point, we are bound for downtown. We'll cross the Broadway Bridge and enjoy the beautiful view of the Willamette River and cityscapes as we wind our way down the West Esplanade of Waterfront Park. Our journey will end at The Old Spaghetti Factory, but the fun continues! The Post-Race Party will feature a meal provided by The Old Spaghetti Factory, magnificent beer from Widmer Brothers Brewing, and live entertainment.
