The Cause + Event Race Series is unlike any other race series of its kind. The runner (or walker) chooses their their favorite registered 501(c)3 nonprofit and their cause will receive at least half of the racer’s registration. [Entry fee] includes race shirt and participation medal.
I love the concept of a race that supports EVERY nonprofit organization chosen by its participants. It's an incredible thing to think about, and I love that they also want to put on a high-quality event that will bring runners and walkers back year after year. In 2014, I participated in Cause+Event Portland as a virtual runner while running Uberthon's Oregon Half Marathon, and this year I'm really looking forward to participating in person for the 2015 Cause+Event Portland race! Scroll down for more details from Race Director Cyndie Pelto.
