Thumbs up to the advisory being lifted for the Willamette River! We will be swimming on Wednesday this week, please note the change in day! 6 pm at Sellwood! Text Kate (612 508 6346) if you’re planning to join. Don’t forget your buoy!

Sunday Runday is tomorrow! During this holiday weekend, come and join us at 8am for a nice and chill run or walk. See you on the Eastside right by the Fire Station by the Hawthorne Bridge.
Address: 5 SE Madison St., Portland, OR 97217

There is still an advisory posted on the OHA website. Good news.. there is rain which can drop the water temperatures and help flush out the algae!

Hoping to have better news next week!!!

Looking for alternative open water locations? Reply back with your favorite open water swim location at this time of the year!

Having FOMO that you’re not running HTC this weekend? Then come out for the team ride at Champoeg State Park tomorrow, August 26th! It’s going to be hot, so don’t forget water, sunscreen, and $ to park. Meet at 8, wheels down at 8:30. Route maps and options on the website. Text Kate if you’re planning to come!

Yes the algae alert is still in affect in the river!

Since the temperatures haven’t dropped much we are not advising people to swim yet!

Stay tuned!

Just got this alert on my phone!

ORDHS: OHA merges 2 recreational use advisories for Willamette River https://lnks.gd/2/2LpW3-N

The algae bloom is growing daily. Due to the heat and the growing bloom, we will cancel the open water swim this week!

We will let you know when temperatures drop and it seems safe.

Although it has not yet reached where we typically swim I would like to be safe!

Sorry for any inconvenience 😕
