2023 Race Series Preview: Hood To Coast Relays (& Road Races too!) Fuel your Team Spirit!!

Runners all over the US, (and now all over the world thanks to some great international race options,) have heard of Hood To Coast. Aptly called “the Mother of All Relays,” it’s the most popular relay in the world and has been traveling from the mountains to the beaches of Oregon for over 30 years. But if 2 days in a sweaty van don’t appeal to your sense of adventure, Hood To Coast has a lot of other options for you now too. Their 1 Day Relays have gained tremendous popularity in part due to their scenic locations as well as their “well-oiled machine” organization. There are even a couple of road race options for you as well, including a super fun turkey trot at the Portland International Raceway with all the holiday lights! Check out some PNW options below!!

About Author

We started the Run Oregon blog in February 2007, because felt like running in Oregon and SW Washington deserved more positive coverage. We also wanted to level the playing field so that small, non-profit races could compete with big events; and to support local race organizers.
