It’s gonna get rainy this weekend – and where there’s rain, there will probably be mud. Cross Crusade starts this Sunday, a series of six races happening for five weekends at different courses in and around the city.
But you don’t have to wait until the weekend for the fun to start. Today (Thursday) strikers will gather at ODOT headquarters to urge them to address a host of demands. Check out our guide below for all the details…
And of course you’ll find all this and more on our event calendar. Enjoy!
