YOU RAISE.  WE GIVE.  Click here to learn more about what the Portland Marathon does for charities.

Year after year, hundreds of walkers and runners use the marathon as a vehicle to raise funds for charity.  We welcome you to go 26.2 miles for a cause and make a difference. In 2007 we selected the below five official charities to be apart of this exciting program.  For 2008 we have another great charity program in place.  Watch for details.
