To celebrate the 4th of July we're running from the river up to OHSU and back down via Marquam trail while attempting to make ice cream, then having a BBQ afterparty at Alex's (thanks, Alex!). Basic burgers and hotdogs will be provided at the BBQ; please bring sides, items to grill if you have specific dietary needs, and beverages for yourself or to share. You can bring your food additions to the start and Alex will show you to the kitchen to store it while we run.
Bring a running pack if you want to make ice cream while running. Standard ingredients and supplies will be provided. If you have special dietary needs you can bring your ingredients. Here's a video and there are many others online! https://photos.app.goo.gl/g1592GY4TvMP3WJ26
