Here are some more details, from my jobsite coordinator.
"On Sunday, September 17th, I hope that you will join us in walking 3.5 miles through downtown Portland. Although it is titled Race for the Cure, about 90% of participants walk the course. The route is pretty flat; starting at Taylor & Naito Parkway, heading west to Broadway and north to Lovejoy, and then finishing back on Naito Parkway & Oak. It is also fairly slow paced so it is perfect for beginners and pros alike.
Our goal is to have most of the team meet at the Beaverton office and walk over to the MAX station at 7:30. We will have some breakfast items available. For those who wish to meet us downtown, we will discuss possible locations over the next few weeks. After the event, many people enjoy sitting by the waterfront and listening to the bands, eating lunch at one of the many great downtown restaurants, and/or visiting all the booths.
The deadline for registering to join our team is August 21st. If you have not already registered, your site coordinators (see below) have registration packets. You will also receive one (1) complimentary raffle ticket for registering. The raffle takes place on September 15th and you need not be present to win. (There will be an opportunity in September for non-participants to purchase raffle tickets as well with all proceeds going back to the Komen Foundation.)
Please join us. As a team we will raise awareness, finance research, and show our commitment to ourselves, our family members and our community. All of you who have participated before know this is simply an amazing event."
