If you want the adventure of Hood to Coast, but are a little nervous about the distance and crowds of the original relay (the one from Mt. Hood to Seaside), you should check out Hood to Coast High Desert. One day. One van. Six runners. And no sleeping in a field. One of our Run…
I never seem to be in town for a race on or around the 4th of July however, since I had no plans this year due to work I decided it would be a good time to get out and dress up.

Hood to Seaside to develop multiple one-day relays along with some more traditional running events. But because they are HTC, the events still have a party atmosphere to give runners an adventure to remember. In the case of the Red, White, & Blues races, that adventure includes a hot dog eating contest. Aka a fantastic way to celebrate 4th of…
