The Portland Marathon
Sunday, October 10, 2010
Volunteers of America Oregon is an official charity of the 2010 Portland Marathon! Join us on 10/10/10 and walk or run for VOA Oregon.
What does that mean?
It means that you can participate in a non-competitive 10K walk, or run a half or full marathon and raise money for VOA at the same time. What a great way to support VOA while achieving your fitness goals! If you’re not a walker or runner, there will be volunteer opportunities, such as handing out water to runners, or working at VOA’s finish line tent on race day.
