Relays have become a bit of a “thing” in more recent years, but with the very real threat of Covid around, the smaller races have a bit more appeal to many than they used to. One of my favorite relays, even before Covid, has always been the Three Capes Marathon Relay. If you’ve never done this one, you really should. It’s a beautiful event and you won’t have to deal with the crowds and van…

Believe or not, 2022 is just two months away. After 2020 feeling like it lasted FOREVER, 2021 has been a strange mix of highs and lows with sprints and stalls that kept us all wondering what day / week / month is it. So, when I tell you that 2022 is two months away, I’m really telling myself. And since I’m a runner, obviously that means I’m also making plans for 2022 races. First one…

Having run many relays, the one day events are their own brand of fun. Hood to Coast’s Seabrook Relay is definitely no exception, as it starts and finishes in the gorgeous ocean town of Seabrook, on the Washington coast, and travels through the town of Humptulips (I swear I’m not making that up). Located to the south west of the Olympic Mountains, and just north of Ocean Shores, the area is beautiful and fairly flat,…

“Don’t Be the Owl.” A few years ago, I ran the HTC High Desert Relay, and this became our team’s motto for the entire weekend. We hit an owl with our car in the wee hours of the morning driving to the gorgeous Brasada Ranch (accidents happen and he clearly had a death wish!) and any time anything went wrong the rest of the day, we reminded ourselves we didn’t want to end up like…
