Date & Time: Saturday, June 14, 2008 - 8 AM start

Paula,

Thanks for another great race! I kept hearing comments as I ran about how organized, how many water/aid stations and how much fun people were having...in spite of the hills.

Thanks for another great day...the Portland running community is so lucky to have you organizing great days like today. Thanks so much!

- Sandra
