The Multnomah Athletic Club and World Players of Handball are proud to present the Portland Classic/R48Pro, October 10-12, 2025. The seventh edition of the Portland Classic will be held at the Multnomah Athletic Club, located at 1849 SW Salmon St. Portland, OR 97205, one of the country’s most storied and outstanding venues.
“We have been thrilled with the first six editions of this event and we are aiming to continue the great tradition we have built each fall at the Portland Classic,” stated Portland Classic tournament director Conor Casey. “Adding an official WPH Pro Tour Stop to ‘The Classic” is a huge boost to the event and the PNW handball community. Our goal is to attract top players from around the country and with the advent of the WPHLiveTV Team, our MAC stands will be packed and rocking with excitement.”
“There are a lot of really good players in Oregon and Great Pacific Northwest and it’s going to be very exciting to watch these superstars battling the best on tour,” stated Race 4 Eight tour administrator and WPH Executive Director Dave Vincent. “Growing up in Oregon myself, and having a chance to play ball at the Multnomah Athletic Club, you could not find anything more exciting.”
Martin Mulkerrins will aim to four-peat in Portland, having dominated the Classic in 2022, 2023, and 2024. The Race 4 Eight Portland Classic is open to all players, with the pro draw being capped at thirty-two players. The 2025 R48 Men’s Pro Portland will be part of the 2025/26 Race 4 Eight season #14.
