(8-25-09) From Press Release - This year's Rock 'n Relay will be held Saturday, September 19 at the Amnesia Brewery (corner of N. Mississippi and Beech St.) in Portland, OR. This unique event features a four-person marathon relay, as well as an individual 4.5-mile event and is a benefit for the Albina Youth Opportunity School.
Great music, a beautiful urban course starting and finishing at the Amnesia brewery, running and walking with friends, beer (at the Amnesia brewery), and food - all on a beautiful fall day - and add a dash of Music Fest Northwest and you have a recipe for one of Portland's quintessential events.
Now, in its third year, this event has expanded to include much more for the 2009 edition. With the addition of Music Fest Northwest, not only do you get a full day of healthy fun, you get a discounted bracelet into a four-day Portland music festival. Music Fest Northwest is the premier music festival in the area, attracting top musicians from all over the country. (Check out the lineup at wweek.com).
Each relay team consists of four members, each doing three 2.18-mile loops. The idea is to hand off to a new team member after every loop until all 12 loops are completed. Don't have a team of four? Come do the individual 4.5 miler!
