Does anyone know the course for Saturday? I'm super slow and have guests in town. I'd like to begin the run earlier than 6:00 to get home a bit earlier. Even starting at 5:30, I know that I would be a part of the larger group as everyone catches up. Thanks.

I don't know the exact route, but one of the coaches said last saturday that we would start at ConWay, cross at the Steel Bridge and on the east side run down to Sellwood and back. Though there was mention that there was some sort of loop down on the Sellwood end that we would be doing to make it a full 25k. It was also said that those in the Red Group that headed out at 6am, if they were part of the faster reds (like the 10min milers) they may be ahead of the when the volunteers set-up the aid stations.

So if you head out too early, you may miss some of the aid stations and people guiding the course at the Sellwood end.

Just a heads up. There will be no support on the course if you start at 5:30 a.m. So be careful. Also there is a little more to the route than mentioned. It is the same as last year, though.
