Jake Lewis's thoughts:

The Shamrock Run has quickly turned into an annual race for me. It is hard to beat the energy and excitement along this course. For being such a large race, it is extremely organized. The waved start really makes this race feel like a breeze. The beginning of the course is extremely flat, allowing runners to find their space and groove. The notable challenge of this course is the Terwilliger climb. What may seem intimidating is actually quite manageable do to the terrace-like incline. Once you've made it to the top it is all downhill to the finish. Oh, I can't forget to mention the beer garden with a live band at the end! If you want the "full race experience" then look no further than the Portland Shamrock!
