Course Info

Wide, fast, and safe course on Swan Island in North Portland - perfect for beginners or fast fields.

Good pavement, wide roads, with three wide turns: one sweeping turn, one 90-degree turn, and a tighter one.

Wide finishing straight for a good clean sprint.

Race direction will switch each race.
