SUMMARY:Pints to Pasta Portland
DESCRIPTION:Course Highlights\nPints to Pasta is one of Portland’s most beloved road races\, offering a beautiful and fast point-to-point course through the heart of the city. The race starts with a dramatic crossing of the Broadway Bridge before dropping onto Naito Parkway along the west side of the Willamette River. Runners cross the Morrison Bridge and finish at OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry) on the east bank. The course showcases Portland’s iconic bridges and riverfront in a single exhilarating outing. \nRace Details\nOriginally part of the Hood to Coast Race Series\, Pints to Pasta offers the 10K and half marathon distances. Free shuttle service transports runners from the finish area near OMSI to the north Portland start\, making logistics seamless. The post-race party is the event’s signature attraction — complimentary pasta\, salad\, and bread\, paired with Widmer Brothers beer and Barefoot Wine (ID required)\, served at the finish. Check RunSignup for confirmed future dates. \nWhy Runners Love It\nThe ‘run from beers to pasta’ concept is simple and brilliant — a satisfying morning run rewarded by a full pasta dinner and cold beer at the finish. The point-to-point route eliminates out-and-back monotony\, and the bridge crossings offer spectacular elevated views of Portland’s downtown and the Willamette. It’s one of the few races where the finish-line food genuinely rivals the course itself in participant satisfaction. \nRace-Weekend Tips\nUse the free shuttle from OMSI to the start rather than driving to the Broadway Bridge area.

Wear a layer you can tie around your waist — temperatures can vary from start to finish on fall mornings. \nRun for the pasta and stay for the beer — check registration at RunSignup.
