Portland Marathon Sells Out 53rd Annual Event

October 6, 2025

Over 11,800 runners from around the nation and world registered for the historic event

PORTLAND, Ore. /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – The Portland Marathon, one of the longest-running consecutive marathons in the state of Oregon, hosted over 11,800 participants on Oct. 5 for its 53nd annual event. The Portland Marathon offered four distances: a marathon, half marathon, the MindRX Group 10K and the Kids Run, which all offer their own scenic tours of the Portland area. The Portland running community was strongly represented this year, with a majority of podium finishers across all distances residing in Portland.

Runners took on multiple courses where they toured some of Portland’s most notable landmarks and neighborhoods, including the Waterfront Park, Old Town, the Pearl District, Sellwood-Moreland, Reed College and experienced multiple bridge crossings over the Willamette River.

“The Portland Marathon is truly a special event for everyone involved,” said Phil Dumontet, CEO of Brooksee, producer of the Portland Marathon. “With this year’s sell-out race, we couldn’t be more proud to share that the Portland Marathon is now Brooksee’s largest event in our portfolio of races, and we couldn’t have done it without our amazing participants, race staff, sponsors, and of course, the support from the local community right here in Portland.”

Nic Maszk, a Portland resident, the men’s marathon champion and overall first-place finisher, completed the 26.2 miles in 2:28:53, followed by the men’s marathon second-place finisher, Portland resident Jared Bassett. Max Woodbury, another Portland resident, took the third-place spot for the men’s marathon. The women’s marathon course was led by Portland local Luciana Lenth, who finished her second marathon ever with a time of 2:53:20, a 30 minute personal record (PR). Second and third-place finishers for the women’s marathon were Rachael Lenz and Portland resident Georgia Filler. Eliezer Vasquez claimed first in the gender expansive division with a time of 3:06:00, followed by second and third-place finishers Patric Campbell and Devon Carlstrom.

The men’s half marathon division was led by Alex Slenning, a Portland resident, who finished with a time of 1:04:12, while Portland local Jenny Schilling led the women’s division with a time of 1:14:13. JL Odom, the gender expansive division leader completed the course with a time of 1:24:46. All first-place finishers of the men’s, women’s and gender expansive divisions for the MindRX Group 10K were also Portland locals. The men’s division was led by Jonathan Carmin with a time of 31:06, Alexandra Keogh brought in first for the women’s division finishing in 38:59, and Samson Ice led the gender expansive division with a time of 58:27.

Race weekend also featured a shakeout run on Oct. 4, in partnership with Nike, the event’s official footwear and apparel sponsor. Over 1,000 locals and visitors took part in the free event at Nike World Headquarters, which also featured complimentary Nike Company Store guest passes, a recovery zone featuring Hyperice equipment, giveaways, product trialing, athlete appearances and a live DJ. On that same Saturday was the Health and Lifestyle Expo, which hosted a variety of vendors offering runner-friendly products and services to help prepare participants for the eventful weekend.

Spectators at the Portland Marathon also had the opportunity to earn a prize on race day. The event annually hosts a “neighborhood cheer station” competition, where running groups and neighborhood associations can gather a group to cheer on participants. This can include fun signs, music, dressing in costumes, or any other unique way the groups come up with to encourage the runners. Participants on the course vote for their favorite cheer station and the group with the most votes take home a prize of $1,000.
