The Portland Marathon missed its July 26 deadline to submit documents to the Oregon Department of Justice, the agency said Thursday.

"They have not submitted any documents, and they did not meet their deadline," Kristina Edmunson, spokesperson for the DOJ said over email.

After the order was issued, marathon director Les Smith told the Oregonian/OregonLive that the Portland Marathon would comply.

KGW reported Wednesday that the marathon had asked for an extension but the DOJ did not confirm that to The Oregonian/OregonLive.

"We heard this week that they have new legal counsel," Edmunson said, "although, we have not heard directly from the lawyer."

On June 20, the Oregon Department of Justice ordered the Portland Marathon to produce "all financial statements, budgets reports, balance sheets, and general ledgers," and "all documents related to any agreements or transactions between the organization and Next Events Productions, LLC and/or IMFTAPPAREL, LLC, including documents evidencing payments to either entity" covering the time period from Jan. 1, 2014 to present, by July 26.

The DOJ said they were concerned about possible conflicts of interest between the nonprofit Portland Marathon and Next Events, the for-profit corporation run by Smith and the marathon's medical director, Mamie Wheeler.

"In multiple places on the 990s they have filed, (the Portland Marathon indicates) there is not a financial relationship with any related entity," Edmunson told KGW in June. "However, if they are actually paying the contractor but not properly reporting, in general, yes, they would need to report the payments received – but there are always exceptions to tax rules."

According to the Oregon Secretary of State's business registry, IMFTAPPAREL, LLC lists Wheeler as one of its members, along with Alexander Okafor, who is listed as CEO with an address in Texas.

IMFTAPPAREL LLC and Next Events Productions LLC are registered at the same address on Northwest Bethany Boulevard, the same address listed on the "Contact" page of The Inner Realm, another business owned by Wheeler, which offers classes in Reiki, client sessions in "Soul Perspective™- Progressive Energy Repatterning™" and has an online class in "Healing with Gemstones & Crystals," listed as "coming soon."

Records shows that IMFTAPPAREL, LLC dissolved in May.

There's also another issue that the DOJ is interested in -- the marathon's 990 tax forms show the Portland Marathon has had two board members since 2011: Smith and Wheeler. But Oregon law requires that nonprofits have three board members.

We reached out to Smith, the Portland Marathon and the new counsel for the Portland Marathon and will update this post if they respond with comment.
