Course
The course features a 1.5 mile loop (with 50 feet of elevation gain per lap), exclusively on farm roads. There are no paved sections or singletrack. All along the course, there will be plenty of room to pass riders. To get a better idea of what to expect ,check out the course map, last year's race report and photos by Oregon Cycling Action, and various photos of previous editions.
What type of bike and tires should I race?
While racers will be allowed to race any type of bike, we strongly recommend to ride a bike that can accomodate at least 32c wide tires that feature some profile. Even when the weather is good, the course might feature some muddy or slick sections due to ongoing irrigation at the farm.
Directions
Kruger's Farm is located at 17100 NW Sauvie Island Road.
From Portland, take Hwy 30 West (towards Scappoose). At the Sauvie Island stop lights, you cross the bridge and continue onto Sauvie Island Road for about 1.5 mi.
Kruger's Farm will come up on your right (Google Maps).
Kruger's Farm Team Relay Race - NEW
This fun and exciting 30' race will be staged on a super-compact farm crit course (approx. 3-minute laps), featuring up to 25 teams of 4 to 10 racers. The entrance fee is $10/team. You can sign up your team by sending an email to kris@portlandracing.com.
