Beaverton to host Rose Festival Half Marathon

Sun., May 28, Southridge High School, 9625 SW 125th Ave., Beaverton

The 6th Annual Rose Festival Half Marathon will be held in Beaverton this year. The Beaverton race is a continuation of the Portland Rose Festival’s half marathon event, which was previously known as the Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon. Hosting the event in the city of Beaverton is possible due in large part to the partnership between the Beaverton School District, Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District (THPRD), and the city.

Rose Festival officials are coordinating with the Beaverton Police Department to determine the course route, which will be announced in detail in the coming months. Interested runners can get more information about the race at http://www.rosefestival.org.
