The first Uberthons Marathon and Half Marathon is set for the Banks - Vernonia Trail.  20-plus miles of beautiful asphalt trail. This Marathon may have sister-marathons as the event grows, and the multi-year leader boards will keep track of all the racing times on one results page year after year.  5k-split times help make the 5k-split awards possible. Sports Authority is the sponsor. This event is sure to be an Oregon must!

5k-Split Winners

A Marathon has 26.2 miles. That is a little over 42 kilometers.  The Oregon Marathon is doing something fun with that many kilometers - every 5 kilometers will produce a 5k-split winner.  One runner may win only one 5k split.  Once a runner has been recognized as a 5k-split winner, others will be recognized.  Sixteen 5k-split winners.  Which split will you own? 

Note:  this is the only Marathon in Oregon that produces 5k-split times. All 5k-split winners will be made online - at results.uberthons.com

Jaguar Timing System

The Oregon Marathon and the Oregon Half Marathon will use Jaguar timing equipment - nothing but the best for this event!  Wear your bibs (which have the timing chip already attached to the back) chest high.  This works best for photos.  Finish Line photos are a must. Uberthons Finish Line Photo system will take snapshots of you as your chip-on-your-bib activates the camera as you cross the finish line. Throw your hands high, or simply give a great thumbs up. Photos will be immediately available for review.

RFID technology is used - start and finish your watch after you cross the start and finish line.  

Your race results will be available within a minute online at results.uberthons.com after completing the race.

See you at the Marathon

Think in terms of Fun, Competiton, and Fitness.
