Summary
Portland just pulled off its first-ever Portland Mile swim race in the Willamette River — 150 swimmers, sold out, hitting the water Sunday morning. Organized by Nike Swim and benefiting the Human Access Project, this annual event celebrates Portland’s deepening love affair with its river. Once unthinkable to host a swim race downtown, the city now thrives on river recreation — with crowds cheering from the Seawall and Hawthorne Bridge. More than a race, it’s a community milestone, proving the Willamette is now a shared space for fun, fitness, and pride. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
