You deserve to be treated to the best organized ride, with delicious rest stops, excellent support and fun Portland highlights along the way. That's why if you're serious about your love of bikes, you need to catch the Portland Century. From top to bottom, this is an exceptional ride. With 100, 50 and 25 miles, you've got three great routes to choose from. The 25 is relatively flat, the 50 is a nice intermediate ride and the full century is a lush, gorgeous course along fern-lined roads with incredible views of Mt. Hood and some rewarding climbs. Each route features frequent rest stops stocked with delicious foods including fresh berry smoothies made with a bike-powered blender, burritos, Hot Lips Pizza, energy bars and more.

But that's not all. The finish line features a gourmet meal with fresh line-caught wild salmon, local and seasonal foods and yummy dessert. You'll enjoy your dinner under the shady tree canopy of the PSU gardens while being serenaded by a string quartet and waited on by a crew of volunteers. Achy muscles? Don't worry, head on over to the massage therapists where they'll work you straight into a state of bliss. Your take home goodie bags will be stuffed with smoked wild salmon, beer, coffee and more.

The Oregon Trout City of Portland Triathlon is excited to unveil the first triathlon ever held in downtown Portland. The Olympic-distance race offers individuals and relays the chance to compete through city streets on well-supported, fast-paced, spectator-friendly courses completely closed to traffic.

This race is committed to sustainable practices. Throughout all stages of planning and execution, the organizers recognize that a healthy body and a sharp mind go hand in hand with social and environmental responsibility. Their equipment is recycled, the food is organic and composted and the products and materials come from local sources.

The Portland Triathlon is the first race in the country to host a medical tent with naturopathic services. Race shirts and bike racks will be made of bamboo and athletes will finish beneath an arch made of living plants and created by a local artist.

There are also incentives for traveling to the race by public transportation. At the finish line, Sassparilla Jug Band will perform next to the Deschutes Brewery beer tent.
