Gain: 121 feet
Start: SE 11th at SE Sherman St

Let's run around the waterfront to spy Santa and his reindeer leading the annual Christmas ship parade - a Portland tradition! We'll start at Baerlic, run clockwise around the waterfront, and look for the ships along the way. They'll be circling in front of the Riverplace Marina before they head under the Tilikum bridge. Timing varies so let's see how lucky we get!

Afterwards we'll cozy up in front of the indoor fire pit at Baerlic for more ho ho hos... and drinks and ranch-dipped pizza.

• Starting at Baerlic, run south on 11th to SE Caruthers St | 1 block
• Right on Caruthers, be careful crossing the railroad tracks | .5 miles

• Right after going under the Tilikum bridge | 50 yards
• Right onto the bridge and run clockwise around the waterfront | 4 miles
