The course featured a fast, flat elevation profile ideal for strong performances. With a start and finish just 36 feet above sea level and a max elevation of only 178 feet, several of our runners took advantage of a course built for speed and hit PR’s on the course.

Blurb here about the events of the weekend. Portland blurb copied below as a sample:
We filled the whole race weekend with an itinerary of events just for MTS runners. From Saturday’s team shakeout run and welcome reception to Sunday’s VIP lounge, live scoring, and post-race brunch, it was a weekend built for connection, celebration, and competition.

For all our races, each team is made up of 7 runners, with the top 5 adjusted finish times counting toward the team score. Every runner still plays a vital role, whether scoring or supporting.

For all our races, scoring is based on a time average that includes age and gender-based time bonuses. This levels the field so all runners can contribute meaningfully, regardless of age or gender.
