Presents the 2nd Annual:
Run Your Shoes Off
5K and 8K Run and Walk
Sunday, August 9th

This 5K and 8K run and walk will start and finish at Cathedral Park in North Portland underneath the St Johns Bridge.

100% of the proceeds will go towards the shipping costs of sending over 1,000 pairs of nearly new running and walking shoes to those in need in the capitol of Ethiopia. The Ethiopia Project is a 501(c)3 organization whose mission is to collect gently worn footwear, clean and sort them, and take them to Addis Ababa in Ethiopia in March of 2010.

Participants will run or walk the out-and-back course that will run along Willamette Blvd. and finish on a grass field. Participants then have the option of taking off their shoes to donate them and finish barefoot. At the finish all participants, whether they finish with their shoes on or off, will receive a pair of Ethiopia Project sandals to walk away in.

Come out and show your support! Nike will be there, and we will be handing out gift certificates from Fit Right NW to some of the winners, including an awesome raffle from many local businesses.

IMPORTANT: The Bridge Pedal will be going on this day, and so most bridges will be closed on this day. The St. Johns Bridge will have 3 of its 4 lanes open, so if you live on the westside of Portland it would make most sense to use HWY 30 West and take the St John's Bridge across. If you live on the eastside use the appropriate road (you shouldn't have to use a bridge to get to the event).

Day of race registration will be $30, so please sign up in advance to save us some time and you some money. Online registration will close on 8/8 at 11:45 pm.
