HOW YOU CAN HELP:
We are humbly asking you for donations to help us pay the city
of Portland. Over the past 18 years we have served hundreds of
thousands of runners. We have witnessed folks meet at our events, get
married, and start families. We have gone on runs all over town with
fellow runners, met at local bars and ultimately become friends with
the community. We love our community.
We have always diligently paid our bills, but over the past few
years, the cost of having events in downtown Portland has gotten out
of control. With your help, our hope is to raise enough support to
pay the city and continue to serve the running community by
ensuring the continuation of locally owned events for Portland. We
will continue to support and advance the running community for this
new generation as well as the generation that supported us over the
past 17 years, but first we need to pay off this debt to do this and
"Keep Portland Running."
SO, WHAT HAPPENED?
For a long time, events like ours were “city sponsored.” That
meant that the city supported our events, mainly because they were
great for the community, and we brought tens of thousands of folks
into the city. This was good for many people, not just us
(restaurants, hotels, retailers, the city government etc).
Then, about ten years ago, city officials introduced
the full cost recovery plan for moving events in
downtown Portland (running races, bike races, parades, etc).
We have spent countless hours trying to figure out how to minimize
those costs. The city costs keep going up and we keep falling further
and further behind and need your help. We have finally come to our
breaking point and we need your help to survive.
THANK YOU LEVELS:
We greatly appreciate any donation no matter the amount. While
we would love to be able to give everyone massive discounts or some
other return for donating to our cause, that simply is not feasible.
We have, however, devised a few ways to show our appreciation.
