DIRECTIONS TO THE RACE SITE
The Oregon Zoo is only five minutes from downtown Portland
on Highway 26 West-also called Sunset Highway. For more detailed
directions see the Oregon Zoo Web site: www.oregonzoo.org
We recommend leaving your car
at home and taking the MAX:
MAX (Metropolitan Area Express) runs through downtown from
the suburbs to the west and east, from the airport, and
from the Expo Center. Washington Park has its own MAX stop,
which lets you off right at the zoo entrance. Leave your
car at your hotel (or your home) and make the train ride
part of the adventure! Check out web site for route maps,
fares, connections and schedules. Allow some time to explore
the station. It's an attraction in itself. www.trimet.org/max
