(Portland, OR)  --  In a decision it calls a postponement, Oregon Health and Sciences University is pulling its sponsorship of the Portland Marathon.  The university points to its role as a public leader in health and science as part of its decision not to sponsor this year's marathon.  The university's experts currently are recommending wearing masks and staying six feet away from anyone not in their household.  COVID-19 restrictions will be in effect for the marathon, which is scheduled for October 3rd.
