4001 Southwest Canyon Rd
Portland, OR 97221
The running, pushing, strolling, walking and posing starts at 8:00 am so please plan to arrive at least 45 minutes early in order to check-in (please bring your confirmation email, but don't stress, we will have a VIP guest list) and get your race bib, shirt and special gift for your passenger. We realize this is early and anything can happen with kids so we will have the race course start open for 30 minutes for anyone who ends up having a "bad morning".
Please also keep in mind that it may rain on Saturday so dress yourselves and your children appropriately.
PARKING
Paid parking at the Zoo, managed by Washington Park starts at 9:30. You can "pre-pay" so that you don't have to go back to your car. You simply need to take note of your space number and then pay at any parking meter in the park (there are several throughout the parking lot, as well as in front of the zoo). You can pay as soon as you get to the park, but it won't kick in until 9:30. For example, if you knew you were going to stay until 10 am but got to the park at 6 am, you would just need to purchase 30 minutes when you arrive at 6 am. You do not need to put the receipt in the car.
DECORATIONS
Please don't forget that we will have prizes for the best decorated stroller so have some fun with the little ones getting ready for the race.
THE COURSE
The course will start at the entrance of The Oregon Zoo. Once started, participants will head into Washington Park for a mile before turning around at the Archery Range and heading back to the Zoo. Participants will circle through the Zoo with views of the animal exhibits and finish in the Concert Lawn. We will have two water/snack stops along the way so don't stress if you or the kiddos get "hangry" or "thirstgry"?
We realize that many of you will want to run side by side but please do not take up the entire area. Once we show the city and the Zoo how great we are, we hope to be approved for a larger roadway.

THANK YOU!
We are overwhelmed with the positive response for this first year event. So many Moms (and Dads) have told us their stories and how this event is a springboard to them getting out and getting fit. Not only that but we are helping Portland's Children's Cancer Assocaition at the same time! Not bad!
Thanks and get ready to #runlikeamom,
The Stroller Run Team
