Let's celebrate the start of summer and the longest day of the year with an adventure of a run! We'll start at The Old Spaghetti Factory at the South Waterfront, run along the Willamette Greenway and through some scenic neighborhoods, then end in Lake Oswego where the Willamette Shore Trolley awaits us. We'll climb aboard and enjoy a fun ride back to the start with some horn tooting along the way.

Those who arrive in Lake Oswego early enough can get a treat at Morse Coffee Company. All Your Heart Coffee is the spot for anyone hungry after the trolley ride.

Note: a small portion of the run is on the side of the trolley tracks, so if you are not comfortable with this Nicole can provide another (longer & steeper) option. The trolley does not run until 10am but no guarantee that a maintenance vehicle won't come tooting it's horns down the tracks. See photos section for example!

Trolley Tickets: Tickets have been purchased in advance by Northwest Trail Runners at a cost of $12 per ticket. We'll provide a Venmo/PayPal/etc at the event for donations. There are limited tickets so please sign up early!

Timing: The trolley expects us to be at the station, which is across the big road from St Honoré, at 9:45am. It will leave promptly at 10am so be on time!! Call Nicole or any other organizer if you are running late.
