Portland Urban Iditarod

The 8th Annual Portland Urban Iditarod will be run Saturday, March 14th, 2009. Show up at 11:30 a.m.. We mush at 12:00 p.m., sharp.

In the Alaskan Iditarod, more than sixty dog sled teams race across the frozen tundra from Anchorage to Nome. In our urban version, teams of ‘dogs’ lead by a musher will pull their sleds (shopping carts) through some of Portland’s most scenic areas. These teams of barking humans must negotiate through the unrelenting and unforgiving dangers of Portland’s urban frontier.

The Oregon Zoo Has Been Invaded

Giant dinosaurs are here and they’re defending their nests.

Come explore an ancient rainforest and meet giant dinosaurs that roar and snarl. Dodge the spitting Dilophosaurus, one of the earliest carnivores. Dig for fossils, find dinosaur egg nests, and track a T. Rex. That roaring you hear in the distance?That would be the 45-foot-long Mr. T. himself. Learn what these giants ate, how they cared for their young, possible reasons they became extinct, and more. Walk the path or take the train - but don’t miss it.

They’ll be extinct again after Labor Day!
