BADCAT? More like BADASS!!! For those of you hardcore ultra runners and athletes out there, perhaps you’ve been looking for an event to take your badassery (is that a word?) up a notch. Perhaps a mere 100 mile ultra run was too easy for you. Or maybe that Ironman Tri was a walk in the park. Maybe it’s time you signed up for the BADCAT! What is the BADCAT Ultra Distance Triathlon? Only one of…
I have a running shirt that says “Enjoy The Journey” and I’ve always felt relay races perfectly capture this exact sentiment. Relays have become all the rage and with the crowds and the difficulty getting into that “other” relay at the end of August, it’s nice to have options. Maybe this is the year you should consider trying out the Cascade Lakes Relay in Bend on August 5th and 6th. The Basics The Cascade Lakes Relay…
We are lucky that we have some great relays here in Oregon. Whether you are looking for one-day or overnight runs, there are options for everyone. And while it is great to run HTC every year, sometimes it can be equally awesome to check out a smaller relay in an area of Oregon you likely haven’t done before. Let’s talk about the Elkhorn Relay, an 82 mile relay for 1-6 runners that traverses the largest…
Have you heard of a little weekend relay in Oregon called Hood To Coast? Unless you’re a runner who’s been hiding under a rock, you’re probably aware of the two-day extravaganza toted as “The Mother of All Relays,” (it IS the largest relay in the world, but no big deal,) but the organization behind the Hood & Portland To Coast Relays has made quite a mark in the running world with their other race events…

Hood to Coast is legendary when it comes to running relays. They started with the classic Mt. Hood to Seaside adventure and have grown into an international organization with several 1-day relay adventures in the Pacific Northwest. Their next race is HTC Seabrook Relay in Washington and there are still spots to bring your team. Like most HTC events Seabrook Relay has walking and running options; walkers complete 9 portions of the course while runners…
Just like there are many ways to slice a pizza, there are lots of ways to split of 55 miles. With the Bend Beer Chase, it is all up to you and your team. This one-day relay event allows teams of one to six participants to divide up the 12 legs. Each leg’s distance is between 4 and 6 miles with local breweries providing exchange points, and samples for those other than the designated driver.…
