The Run🏃♀️🏃♂️
We'll meet in the parking lot by the Washington Park tennis courts (above the Rose Garden) for a 6-mile upside-down squiggly lollipop loop that includes the MAC trail, White Pine trail, Wildwood, and Japanese Garden Trail. This route has a mixture of rolling hills, steep climbs, steep descents, and a view from the top of Pittock.
The Cookies🍪🍪
Afterwards we’ll let our inner cookie monsters out and power back up with COOKIES at Hostel Cafe. Coffee drinks / breakfast treats will be available for purchase. We'll have paper bags so you can take an assortment of cookies home with you. Thanks to all who share their cookies with us. Every year it's a delight to see and taste the variety. YUM!
