If you aren't running (or viewing) at Newport this weekend, you can stop reading after this paragraph. There will be no Sunday run in Eugene as some of us linger at the coast. Training here will resume on June 7th at seven miles.
As for Newport, the races are on Saturday. Marathon starts at 7:00 (or an hour earlier for the slow), and half-marathon at 7:45 (new time this year). All starting areas are the Yaquina lighthouse, near the big bay bridge. Finish is at the bank parking lot across from the Embarcadero Resort.
Packet pickup is at the Embarcadero, three to nine o'clock Friday but NOT on race morning. Showers are available afterward at Newport High School, 10 o'clock to one.
Best viewing spots on the course are the "finish" (about four miles into the races) and the marathon turnaround (about 15 miles). Weather forecast: starting temperature about 50, day's high of 60, partly sunny and dry.
