NOTE: Willamette Park requires parking payment, so park and pay accordingly! Or walk to the start.

From the water to the hills. Let's start low and climb high! This route, which we have done at night, starts at Willamette Park, and climbs a hidden trail under i-5 to Terwilliger Blvd. After running on the paved trail for a bit and gaining some speed, we turn on the Marquam Trail and do a loop, then back down to Terwillger. We quickly make our way downhill on Hamilton and inch ever closer to the Portland Tram Bridge. Then navigate our way back to the Waterfront Trail and back to the start.

This trail is a mix of road and trail, so there is something for everyone. We will meet up at several checkpoints to make sure no one gets left behind.
