Apple iPhone 5 beats the Samsung Galaxy S III and others on Geekbench benchmark test
0. phoneArena posted on 16 Sep 2012, 22:17
With the understanding that the Apple iPhone has yet to be released, and that the Samsung Galaxy S III has not yet been upgraded to Android 4.1, a Geekbench benchmark test has found that the new iPhone beats the competition...

naa im human this time around bro.......jus came off of watchin a youtube video and seen this articles headline......read a few sentences then droped straight to the comment section.......sorry for not reading everything thoroughly jus thought everyone knew what it was for and asked

so basically u decided to troll while not reading the article, therefore providing nothing substantial…
ya, we get it

stats don't mean much for the iphone when it is above the competition or below… pure numbers cannot relate the real-world difference between two different operating systems that are written in different manners… android to android or ios to ios the numbers are much more relevant-- pure hardware is only a fraction of the speed test

This is funny that people talked about how powerful the processor of Samsung's processor's are, but fall short to stronger DUAL CORE A6. They will need to release the SIV quickly with an 8 core to compete....LOL!!!
By next year...the A6X with quad-core architecture will surpass a 2Ghz quad core A9 processor by Samsung on the SIV.
Again as I always thought that Android phone's felt "gimmicky" to me from the finish of their phones and specs. Android pry's on overloaded specs and features to raise interest to consumers. Apple never sold products like this to capture interest. Once the phone is in your hand, you aren't worried about a 1.6Ghz quad-core processor with 2GB's or RAM with a high profile processor. Apple worries about the smoothness of the software and app integration. Apple then says benchmark me without comparing themselves to Android. That is how they go about their business.
53. maier9900 (Posts: 272; Member since: 17 Dec 2011)
Did you know the iphone's A6 processor is an ARM A15 on the ARMv7 Architecture???
Their newest architecture which is the same as the SnapDragon S4 but two different Companies making them???
And that all previous iphones, ipods and ipads came out with ARMs???
And that the international version of S3 has the quad-core A9 that you mentioned in your post??? (not 2Ghz - because there won't be any A9 2Ghz next year like you said.)
No more A9 bump because is Mali 400, They moved up from that... the A15 is on Mali T604 (that's the GPU) And that all these processors including the A6 or the A6x or the next big thing from APPLE "the A10 processor" are ALL made by SAMSUNG????
Just wanted to point out, from what i read in your post it seemed that you were confusing others and/or be confused yourself... no offense.
And like you said, Apple focuses on design and ios smoothness compared to Android device makers. With all that said, i want to add a little more for whoever is reading this, specially android fans because they seem to compare iDevices with anything out there and running useless Benchmarks on both OSs... to see which device performs better, WTF Androidfans, were you raised in a jungle?
Comparing a dual core device with a lot less SPECS than the other device running a quad-core with 2ghz of ram is NONSENSE...
---Is like me benchmarking an Intel core i7 (quad-core obviously) with a system that has an i3(dual-core), this s**t is crazy.. it's stupid crazy, wow, no common sense at all, Big HEAD Small Brain.
Next year they'll compare the iPhone 6 or iPhone 5s (whatever) to a Jet taking OFF with an 8-core processor and 4Gb of RAM.
How about use a little common sense ppl and compare devices that are close to similar in specs. Just as we do with PC hardware.. Corsair 128SSD vs Samsung series whatever 128SSD - speed comparison..
Omg, i wrote a lot, but had to get it out of me, it's pissing me off when i read articles everyday and see nonsense comments posted by ppl (99% androids). Some articles are nonsense too here on P.A.
Anyway, i agree with you... on your last paragraph!! peace.
61. shuaibhere (Posts: 1986; Member since: 07 Jul 2012)
The fact is we compare phones with similar price point.......
What ever the processor may be we want the value for our money.....
63. maier9900 (Posts: 272; Member since: 17 Dec 2011)
Same goes for two different laptops, i guess... you can buy a gateway for 399 with better specs than a sony or samsung going for the same price... BUT people STILL buy more of sony or samsung laptops than they buy gateway with better specs... So i really don't get your point here... sorry.
And you're mentioning VALUE, you don't know value.. People always got more value for their money when buying from APPLE, MAcBooks, ipads and MAc whatevers and iphones, and ipods have been a better value for consumers FOR the past decade...
68. shuaibhere (Posts: 1986; Member since: 07 Jul 2012)
I think samsung gives the value for my money........not only in form of specs but also in the form of functionality....and apple products come short of functionality.......
And i am happy owner of samsung laptop......
Apple wants more money for the product with less functionality and i think every android phone owner thinks the same thing.....
85. maier9900 (Posts: 272; Member since: 17 Dec 2011)
I have my own thoughts, you have yours and the rest of ppl have theirs. And i'm a happy owner of a Sony laptop, Quality also matters, I could've bought a Cheaper maker laptop like the "gateway"s with better specs than the Sony and $300 cheaper But i chose to buy the Sony just as people like to buy Apple products, They got QUALITY products buddy and you know that.
And many people like me would rather buy a quality device rather than a cheap device with better specs. You did the same with your SAMSUNG laptop, could've bought a gateway but you didnt, you went for the Samsung. SAME goes for cars, I would buy a quality car before i buy one of those cheap cars at 12,000 or less.

It must be the RAM that made the difference, because the iPhone 4S's clock speed is only 200 MHz slower per core.
Nice score, but Android phones will come back and spank these results in the next few months.
Also nice to know that apparently there are benchmarks that actually work cross platform now.
22. Mxyzptlk (unregistered)
They tested the iPhone 5 not the 4S. The next few months will not make a difference in the long haul.
30. Jelly_Bean (Posts: 109; Member since: 11 Sep 2012)
Mxyzptlk:- I'll see you when we get the comparison between iPhone stretch (5) and my Note 2 (The Beast)...!!
31. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
I'm sorry, I should have clarified. I was noting that the difference in scores between the 4S and 5 is probably because of the RAM increase on the 5, since its CPU got a relatively small bump.
And even the article notes that the S3 with Jelly Bean (rather than ICS) kicks the crap out of the 4S's score. That update will be out shortly, at least for some models.
Few months=difference.
37. gallitoking (Posts: 4721; Member since: 17 May 2011)
dont think so. Sniggly nothisn is coming that is stronger than the almighty SGSIII maybe the 4 but we can wait for that right
40. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
Okay, Gallito, now that I have reiterated what the article has said, TWICE, you have no excuse.
Not only does the article say that a test run with the S3 using Jelly Bean stomped on the iPhone 5 score, but the Note 2 is coming out in another month or so, with a QUAD CORE PROCESSOR running at a higher clock speed than the S3's dual core. So yes, not only is the S3 itself getting better soon, the Note 2 is going to be even better, AND is coming out before those few months are up.
So again I say:
43. phitch (Posts: 214; Member since: 06 Mar 2012)
The Optimus G is actually far more powerful than the S3.
18. chunk1x (Posts: 248; Member since: 25 Jun 2011)
I don't get it when people keep comparing processor speed, camera megapixels and etc. I would rather see the real performance rather than number on the tech sheet.
19. mas11 (Posts: 1034; Member since: 30 Mar 2012)
I wanna see how the iPhone fairs on quadrant. I can't believe a 1.02 GHz processor beat the quad-core SIII
20. omarkhsawne (Posts: 1; Member since: 16 Sep 2012)
of course iphone 5 will beat the galaxy s3 because the gs3 had to push more pixels none of the other high end smartphones have that low resolution screen 640 x 1136 pixels of the iphone 5 stop marketing that piece of junk samsung is the best.
21. Jelly_Bean (Posts: 109; Member since: 11 Sep 2012)
iPhone 5 ----------> TV remote..!!!
It isn't even near to any of the Windows or Android based phones out there.
24. angelohizzo (Posts: 11; Member since: 03 Apr 2012)
Benchmarks are just another marketing tool if you ask me along with "monster" specs.
There's no better way to test a device than hands on time with it.
Lesson I learned from getting both the international GS3 then eventually the AT&T variant. When the quad core s3 didn't run as smooth as my 4S I got AT&T version thinking the ram would make a difference. It didn't. I flashed both devices (mainly the int version) with latest and greatest custom ROMs out there CM9/CM10/slimmed touch wiz etc (even the leaked touch wiz with JB and Project Butter) to make them run smoother which to some degree worked. All were smoother than stock, but none were 4S smooth.
I found that the GS3s launched apps quicker, but those same apps ran better on the 4S. The Facebook app is the perfect example but is by no means the only one.
I've preordered the 5 but if the performance isn't any different than the 4S or GS3s then I'll return it and hold my money for something better.

36. infernal88 (Posts: 113; Member since: 08 Jun 2012)
so i had a look at their site ....the S3 results are based on the mean value of multiple users input ...which in some times as low as 500 somthing ...and as high as 1950 sometimes ....and with many users using different ROMs,kernels, even some results were running in less rams and cores than the device full power .....those would much affect out come mean , iphone 5 results most probably were run once ... and it already pulled out the site or i cant find it :/ ,,,anyways that one time might be the maximum or the minimum or some value in between ..it have to be run more times to get the mean results

Lol short lived
49. phitch (Posts: 214; Member since: 06 Mar 2012)
A few things these benchmarks leave off. The A6 uses ARMv7s instruction set as opposed to the standard ARMv7 instruction set, it uses specialized instructions specifically targeted for the iOS. It also uses a dual core custom A15. It also uses much faster memory than previous, using 32-bit Dual-channel 1066 MHz LPDDR2. So, why does this make a difference, well the Exynos uses ARMv7 and is based on the ARM cortex-9 core which has no access to VFPv4 (which places all scalar functions directly onto the hardware). It also has slower memory access. So, the two extra cores actually make it far more functional than it would be if it was dual core. We are only 3-4 months away from the first Tegra 4 devices, and if Nvidia does this right, this will be a huge increase, along with the Exynos 5 in terms of power. (I expect fully that the Exynos 5 will be Quad Core when it is launched and not dual core.)

Land Rover Lightweight: 1968 to 1985
The idea for a vehicle light enough to be carried by helicopter and fixed wing aircraft came about in the 1950's. Then the Royal Marines were trialling Citroen 2CV pick-ups, flying them ashore from their Commando ships slung beneath Westland "Whirlwind" helicopters. The standard military 1/4 ton Land-Rover was too heavy for any helicopter then in service. The 1/4 ton (88 inch) and 3/4 ton (109 inch) were also too wide to be stored two abreast in the current, and proposed new generation of transport aircraft.
Oddly enough, Series Ones (80 inch and 86 inch) could be accommodated side by side at the time some of these aircraft were proposed. When the Series II Land Rover appeared in 1958 it was much wider than its predecessors. Therefore a prototype was drawn up around 1965 to meet a specific requirement for an air-portable vehicle for the British Armed Forces. The Ministry of Defence stipulated that the new vehicle had to be narrow enough to fit two-abreast into the Argosy transport aircraft then in service, and weigh in at about 1,134 kg (2,500lbs) unladen weight to be carried under the "Wessex", which was by this time their workhorse helicopter.
The prototype vehicle was initially based on the general service version of the 88 inch Series IIa. The long wheel base (109 inch) was also considered due to its improved load area, but there was no way that it could be made light enough. To get the Land-Rover to meet the weight target the 1/4 ton payload vehicle was completely stripped, then rebuilt with only the items deemed essential to make the vehicle mobile being added. Therefore items such as doors, windscreen, some body panels, spare wheel, bonnet and the rear seats were not needed. The vehicle finally ended up as a chassis equipped with very a simple angular body with a narrow bulkhead and axles to fit in the Argosy. The body's look being determined by the need to cover the wheels and house the side lights/indicators with the head lights being placed in the grille leaving a very stark looking vehicle. With all of the body panels etc. fitted, the Lightweight was actually heavier than a standard Series II 88 inch due to all of the extra brackets and fasteners required to make panels demountable.
So moving the Land-Rovers to the war zone in the Argosy aircraft wasn't a problem, but moving them around the battlefield was still a problem. The Lightweights ability to shed large portions of its upper body and doors was the key to making it air-portable, but even stripped down, the "Wessex" helicopter still had to dispense with a few sundry items to make the lift less of a strain. However, within a couple of years of the Lightweights introduction, more powerful engines in the "Wessex", and the introduction of the Westland "Commando" and Boeing CH-47 "Chinook" stopped the need to remove body panels, but the Lightweight remained in production - with all of its easily removable panels until 1985.
Having been shown in prototype form in 1966, The British Ministry of Defence (M.O.D.) placed the first order for 1,000 vehicles on August 31st 1967. Deliveries from Solihull began in 1968, but vehicles were put in storage and not released for service until 1969. Very little changed from the prototype, a new style front grille was added which was similar to the SII general service vehicle. A narrower bumper was designed and the vehicle was uprated to 1/2 ton payload. It was available from day one as either a General Service model with a 12-volt electrical system or as a 24-volt FFR (fitted for radio), fully suppressed version. All of the first batch shared the running gear with the civilian SIIa, all had petrol engines and were delivered to all three wings of the British Armed Forces with the vast majority going to the army. They were officially referred to as the "Land-Rover Series IIa Truck, Utility, 1/2 ton, 4x4" or simply as the "Rover 1". The first 1,400 built were Series IIa units with headlights mounted on the radiator panel with an inverted "T" wire mesh grille. New lighting regulations in many countries where the Lightweight was expected to see service resulted in the relocation of the lights to redesigned wings. This change also occurred on civilian and standard military 1/4 ton and 3/4 ton Land-Rovers. Vehicles with this new configuration are usually referred to as "late" IIa's. In all, 2,989 series IIa Lightweight vehicles were built.
Land-Rover didn't start to build the Series III lightweight until 1972, when it had cleared its outstanding SII orders for the MoD. It was at this point Rover began to offer the Lightweight to overseas buyers, and in time orders were received from Belgium, Brunei, Guyana, Holland, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Jamaica, Libya, Saudi Arabia and the Sudan. Externally, the only way to distinguish a Late IIa lightweight from a Series III are the windscreen hinge/bracket. Apart from a full synchromesh gearbox, the relocation of the ignition key to the steering column, that was it. The next changes occurred in the late 1970's and early 1980's. They were, extra rear lights, larger sidelight and indicator lenses and the deletion of bumper overriders on some versions.
Most Lightweights had the 2.25 litre petrol engine, however the British Armed Forces did take some with diesels for specialist uses. All Lightweights supplied to the Netherlands were diesel powered. Bodies were generally soft top but hard top versions could be ordered. 12,334 Series III Lightweights were built up to 1980.
Records after that year are patchy but it is reckoned that about 18,000 Lightweights were built up until production stopped somewhere between 1983 & 1985. The Lightweight was replaced by the Land Rover 90, however some still soldier on in specialist roles and many still serve at weekends with the Territorial Army.

Several special application Lightweights were produced.
Emergency ambulance.
This version was designed as an emergency forward area ambulance. It was capable of carrying two stretcher cases by the addition of a canvas "box" protruding from the rear, in a very similar fashion to the earlier Minerva ambulances.
Anti-tank vehicle.
This was a special conversion by Marshall of Cambridge Ltd to meet a requirement from the Sudan government. They came standard with a 106mm recoilless light anti-tank gun M40A1 and mount M79, Seats for the crew, storage for ammo, blast shields to protect the bonnet when firing forwards, split windscreen, a pick and a shovel. Some versions were built minus a bonnet mounted spare wheel to improve visibility. Apparently some saw action in the Gulf war. A similar specification is now offered on the Defender 90.
Royal Marine deep wading Lightweight.
Some Lightweights were specially prepared for deep wading between landing craft and the beach by the Royal Marines own workshops (as were some 109"s, 110s etc.). To protect against salt water special anti-corrosion treatment was added as well as adaptations to the engine fan, air intake, fuel tank, gearbox, transfer box, battery, and most importantly the electrical systems. The vehicles had a very reduced life span due to the harsh environment they had to work in.
However, very few truly amphibious versions were ever produced. Instead, Royal Marine drivers learned how to waterproof standard military Land Rovers for amphibious landings. This was (and still is) done at the Amphibious Trials and Training Unit Royal Marines, at Instow in Devon. The process involved fitting special seals, bladders, etc. to key components, and the course culminated in the drivers putting their skills to the test for real, either in the wading tank at Instow, or off the deck of a landing craft.
Correctly prepared, the vehicles could wade deeper than the drivers, who had to hold their breath underwater while a (standing) colleague gave them steering directions by nudging them on the shoulders. Not all vehicles were successfully waterproofed, which is why all were fitted in advance of the test with a tow chain ready shackled to the chassis, to allow the Beach Armoured Recovery Vehicle (a waterproofed Centurion Tank variant) to pull them to safety. The current in-service Royal Marines Land Rovers have been specified to make this process easier, which is why they are pre-fitted with 'snorkel' air intakes, and other features.

These modified lightweights were used in the boggy terrain of the Falkland Islands. Any information on these is very welcome.

VPK Lightweight.
Some Lightweights stationed in Northern Ireland received the VPK (vehicle protection kit) of appliqué armour to protect against blast bombs, rocks etc. This was done by the Army in its own workshops.

The "Big Lightweight" or "Middleweight" 3/4 ton.
Also known as the 110" Bonneted Control Land Rover, the 3/4 ton was a private venture by Land Rover to produce a 'lightweight' type vehicle designed for pulling power-driven trailers and the British Army's 105mm gun. It was similar in style to the 1/2 ton and used some components from it. It was powered by the Rover P5 3.0 litre 6 cylinder petrol engine, producing 110bhp. The vehicle was fitted with one-ton spec. Dunlop Track grip 9.00x16 tyres. The wheelbase was 110", with a second transfer box to drive the trailer/gun axle, allowing 2,4,or 6 wheel drive. The vehicle only reached prototype stage in 1965 with just 3 being produced, when the project ceased. However it was not long until this role was revisited with the one tonne 101 forward control which went into full production. Two of these 3/4 ton prototypes are thought to still exist, and one of these is in the Dunsfold Collection.

Spanish Lightweight - Ligero Militar / Militar / Ligero.
Metalurgica de Santa Ana - or Santana - had been manufacturing Land Rover Series vehicles since 1958. They had developed their vehicles slightly differently to UK Land Rovers, eventually to become merely similar. The series III evolved not to 110, but to series IV (with parabolic leaf springs). Their latest Land Rover style machine, the PS-10 'Anibal', still uses parabolic spring suspension. In 1970 Santana launched military versions of their 88 and 109. Named 'Ligero Militar' (88 inch) and 'Militar' (109 inch), these Rovers followed the same concept as the British Lightweight. As helicopters in Spanish service were capable weight lifters, there was no great need to make the bodywork demountable. With no transport aircraft capable of carrying Militars two abreast there was no great need to make the 88's and 109's narrower. Therefore the Militar was basically just a rebodied series vehicle. The Militar was produced for Spain, Morocco and Egypt. A civilian version, called Ligero, was launched by Santana in 1980.

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Disney has picked up "The Runner," a sci-fi adventure project from the developer of NBC's recent "Knight Rider" reboot. Marc Forster ("Quantum of Solace") is attached to direct.
The story centers on a lone man who is sent back in time to change the course of history but who also has a personal motive of saving the love of his life.
The project was originally written on spec as a TV pilot by Dave Andron, who is now a writer/supervising producer on FX's "Justified." He reconfigured it for the big screen.
Forster is prepping his next picture, Paramount's zombie movie "World War Z."

How do I know if I'm registered?
If you're unsure if you're registered, you can search using the appropriate link below (Note: Updated weekly). You must bring your photo ID with you to the Expo on event weekend for packet pick-up.
2017 Portland Marathon Half Participant List
(Note: List updated weekly)
2017 Portland Marathon Participant List
(Note: List updated weekly)
Does the Portland Marathon qualify me for Boston?
The Portland Marathon on October 8, 2017 is a qualifier for the 2019 Boston Marathon. It is also a qualifier for the 2018 Boston Marathon IF the registration for the 2018 Boston Marathon is still open.
Where and when is the pre-race Expo and packet pick-up?
Packet pick up is at the Portland Marathon Sports & Fitness Expo, held at our host hotel, the Hilton Portland downtown on Friday, October 6, 2016 from 11am – 8p.m. and on Saturday, October 7, 2016 from 9am – 7pm. Remember there is no packet pickup Sunday.
Where & when is the START for the Portland Marathon and Portland Marathon Half?
The starting line for the Portland Marathon & Portland Marathon Half is at SW 4th and Taylor in downtown Portland, Oregon. The events start together (learn more about our corral system below) at 7 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 8, 2017.
Who can pick up my packet for me?
Just you. Participants need to pick up their own packets and bring their photo ID.
What aid is available on the course this year?
Located less than every 2 miles, approximately 19 aid stations will feature water and Ultima Replenisher, an electrolyte replacement. As always we will be offering 5 or 6 gummy bear and pretzel stations.
Can I start the Marathon and then decide to run in to the finish on the 1/2 Marathon course?
No. Crashing the last few miles of the Half-Marathon Course is unfair to the runners who registered for the event. Click Here to read additional facts around this prohibition.
I'm entered in the Racewalk or Nordic Walk competition. Where do I check in?
Please check in at the Racewalk/Nordic Walk table at the Expo. We will have bib numbers and instructions for all registered Racewalk and Nordic Walk participants. If you need to switch to either of these divisions on Marathon weekend, we can also help participants do this. Questions? Please stop by the check in table or e-mail us (prior to October 1) at email@example.com.
Are there pacers?
Yes, local running club, Team Red Lizard, will be coordinating all of the pacing responsibilities and will be holding a question/answer session for all running and walking participants as a part of the Expo Saturday.
What is your policy on corral assignments?
Corrals are used to provide a smooth and fast start for our Marathon and Half Marathon Events. The goal is to keep slower runners from lining up in front of faster runners. With a 3 minute wait between corral starts there is space for runners to run into as they start the race. Accordingly, corrals are assigned by expected marathon finish times once the events are both closed.
We do not make the actual assignment until we are in the process of making our bibs/numbers (in August). At that time we divide the entrants into 8 corral groupings. Those who register late or fail to input a valid predicted finish time are placed in one of the rear corrals.
We have found the system described works and has allowed us to have smooth starts and getting everyone underway about 15 to 20 minutes faster than when we did a mass lineup. And thus far we have not had to put in a "qualification" standard that would ask the runner for their time in another event we would be able to verify. Of course, if we find improper corral jumping we will have no alternative but to put such a qualification process in place. The corrals will go one after another and your start time will not begin until you cross the starting line. Want to change corrals? Continue reading…
What if the estimated time I entered at registration is different than it will be on event day? Can I or should I change corrals?
The corral system is set up to allow the field of participants to spread out nicely along the course route. We have those who plan to run fastest start towards the front, and those who plan to walk start towards the rear. Prior to August 15th, send us an email to change your predicted finish time (email@example.com). You cannot change your corral assignment after August 15th. But remember, you can always move back to a slower corral on race day if you need to, but you will not be permitted to jump to a faster corral. The corrals will go one after another and your start time will not begin until you cross the starting line.
I cannot participate in the Event (injury, pregnancy, illness, work schedule, family emergency). Can I get a refund/deferral to next year/bib transfer/event transfer?
The Portland Marathon, like other large races, cannot offer a refund, deferral, bib transfer or event transfer, however there is still something you can do with your entry fee if you choose not to participate. You can use it as a tax deductible charitable donation, as we are a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. Last year runners and walkers raised over $2 million for charities, and we donated over $150,000 to local clubs, teams and other nonprofits. For your tax purposes, the Portland Marathon tax ID number is 93-1015627 and your confirmation email is your receipt.
How long do the course and finish area stay open?
We move walkers onto the alternate course who have been on the course for about 6 hours. This occurs at an 8 hour pace just before the 22 mile mark. Times can be variable based on security requirements.
Where can I park on race day?
Please visit our "Getting to the Start" Page!
I'm traveling from out of town, and I'm not sure how to get around the course to see my loved one race. How do I navigate the course?
We have included on our website a spectator guide, which should help you and your family/friends get around the course to support your racer. You may also consult the information desk at the Expo in the Portland Hilton for detailed suggestions.
What is the Clydesdale & Bonnydale Division? What is the Pump & Run Division?
The Clydesdale & Bonnydale divisions allow larger framed runners to compete against similar body types based on weight. There is also an optional add on to the Clydesdale & Bonnydale division, and that is the Pump and Run! Pump and Run allows runners/walkers to add a special twist to their marathon experience! This option requires participants to first sign up for the Clydesdale & Bonnydale division and weigh at least 185 lbs for men and 145 lbs for women. According to weight division, each participant must perform one repetition of the bench press bar. You may sign up for this division and perform the rep at our Sports and Fitness pre-race Expo at the Hilton. There is a $5.00 registration fee charged at that time. Cash only. The results for these special divisions are posted 1-2 weeks after the event.
How do I raise money to benefit charities? Which charities do the Portland Marathon endorse for fundraising efforts?
The Portland Marathon encourages any participant to use the event to raise money for multiple causes. Click Here to see a list of the Official & Affiliate Charities we partner with.
How much does the Portland Marathon raise for charity?
Charities use the event to raise over $2,000,000 for their causes. We also donate over $150,000 to service clubs, school teams and groups and other non-profits. See a list here.
What do the Finisher's shirts look like?
Finisher's shirts are gender specific, long-sleeved shirts made of a technical fabric, micro-vent knit that wicks moisture, dries quickly and is spill resistant. All participants who finish will receive a finisher's shirts clearly indicating their status as icons on the mantel of Portland Marathon history. Coveted by many but worn by a few.
Changes in finisher shirt size or color cannot be made after August 15th. To do so, would lead to others not getting the shirt that they requested. Please be respectful of our finish line volunteers who do a fantastic job of distributing finisher shirts!
When I wear my Finisher's shirt out and about at some interesting or exotic location, to whom should I send the picture to for publication?
The picture can be sent to email@example.com or posted on our Facebook Page
