Southeast Portland Sunday Parkways August 16, 2009
9 am to 4 pm
The 9-mile Southeast Sunday Parkways two-way route will feature two loops. A 5-mile relatively flat loop through portions of the Buckman, Kerns, Laurelhurst, Richmond, Sunnyside neighborhoods. A second, more challenging, 4-mile Mt Tabor loop will be optional to summit the only volcano in the City limits. The route will also cross the SE Hawthorne, Division and Belmont business areas. There is no start or finish line - join the fun where ever you want!
Featured parks/activity areas: Laurelhurst, Sunnyside, Col. Summers, and Mt Tabor Parks
