Poppy 's thoughts:
I have a soft spot for the PDX marathon since it was my first marathon in 2003. After running several other marathons over the years, I ran it again in 2014 and still loved it.
One of my favorite parts of the course is the entertainment along the course and all of the spectator friendly areas. There is definitely a boring part of the course in the industrial area, but gets infinitely better once you crest the St Johns bridge.
The finisher's area of this marathon is one of my favorites. They shower participants with a pin, seedling, rose and a jacket (in lieu of a disposable blanket) and a variety of fuel to replenish.
