Course records for the M-5k, F-5k, M-10k, and F-10k were set. However, the event is not being run for strictly competition - tell that to the two schools - the event is For Fun, For Competition, and For Fitness. Everyone is in one of these categories, so come and enjoy. At the event, you will want to purchase a pancake breakfast for $4.00. Pancakes, sausages, toppings, 100% fruit juice, and hot chocolate.
The afternoon event is a tour of the University of Portland campus. Folks in small tour groups will be shown several campus buildings, and will learn about the history of the university. Ask questions - this is a place of learning! Please indicate on the registration page your preference of time for your tour.
The pre-game event is a catered affair at 5 PM to 6:45 PM. Space is limited, so you will want to register early. More information on registering for this affair will be given soon.
The GAME! promises to be a thriller. Both teams have restocked with excellent shooters, defenders, passers, and rebounders. Make this game a top priority. Pack the house with Pilots and Cougars.
