CARTATHLON III - "A Mobile Eatery-Themed Scavenger Hunt and Urban Footrace"

Food Carts Portland is pleased to announce sponsorship of this event in conjuncture with our friends over at Willamette Week and the Portland Mobile Restaurant Group. From the WWeek website:

The route will encompass Southeast, Southwest, Northeast and North Portland as contestants race between some of Portlandā€™s most popular food carts, completing fun challenges and eating tasty food.

Participation fee for contestants is $55 for a five-person team, and will include breakfast snacks, complimentary beverages, free food along the route, and admission into an after party hosted by Willamette Week.
