HTA Portland Wrap-Up

We brought our urban adventure race to Portland for a second straight year and our racers were not disappointed. Our racers displayed their nimble fingers by playings Pac-man, answered trivia questions at Thomas McCall Waterfront Park and traversed up Historic Mississippi Ave.

Shout Outs:

High Trek Adventure Portland could not have been pulled off without the super-awesomeness that is Colleen Fin, founder of Recess Time. If you want to revisit your childhood, what better way to do it than a game of kickball or dodgeball. You won’t be disappointed.

We want to thank Giuseppe Lipari, Eric and Kris Robison of Backspace Lounge and Someday Lounge and Justin Valdivia of PortlandPicks.com.

Thanks to all of our sponsors: Backspace Lounge, Bleuet, Crush Lounge, Eat Pizza, Fit Right Northwest, Global-Fitness, Graceful Edge, Oasis Cafe, PortlandPicks.com, Recess Time, Someday Lounge, Timbuk2, Urban Grind Coffee and Willamette Week.
