Across the river, downtown and Old Town have more choice and are one MAX ride away. The inner eastside along East Burnside, where the Jupiter Hotel sits, are good for food and a more local feel. - **Hyatt Regency Portland at the Oregon Convention Center:** Right next to the venue at 375 NE Holladay Street, with a 24-hour gym. - **Hotel Eastlund:** A boutique hotel at 1021 NE Grand Avenue, about a three-minute walk from the venue.

It's roughly 5 km, flat and paved, and the Steel Bridge end is a short walk from the venue. - **Laurelhurst Park (Laurelhurst):** A leafy 32-acre park with paved and unpaved paths at SE César E. Chávez Boulevard and Stark Street. Good for an easy loop near the eastside hotels. - **Leif Erikson Drive, Forest Park (Northwest Portland):** An 18 km road closed to cars that runs through Forest Park from the end of NW Thurman Street, below and roughly parallel to the Wildwood Trail. Run a few kilometers out and back. ### Where to eat and fuel up - **Pine State Biscuits (Northeast Portland):** Its location at 125 NE Schuyler Street is a short ride from the venue and open daily 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. A biscuit with eggs is a solid pre-race breakfast. Save the Reggie Deluxe, with fried chicken, cheese, bacon and gravy, for after. - **Screen Door (Eastside):** At 2337 E Burnside, serving Southern-style brunch and fried chicken. It's mostly walk-in, so expect a line on weekends. - **Grassa (Hawthorne):** A casual pasta spot at 1375 SE Hawthorne Boulevard, open daily 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Good for a carb-loading dinner.
