    I’ve ran this marathon in the past and the scenery is great. Great view of the Willamette River….I must biased. Unfortunately, I was a poor college kid and didn’t pay an entry fee and didn’t get a cool T-shirt.

    College kids don’t need T-shirts to impress anyone. I went to class in board shorts, flippy floppies, and shirtless, but that’s because I went to college in California. It was pretty gnarly braw.
