https://www.visitbend.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/hood-to-coast-960.jpg Last fall was my first time experiencing a one-day Hood to Coast relay, and it was an absolute blast. 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…

Runners come from around the world for the adventure from Mt. Hood to Seaside, Oregon. First started in 1982, the event has grown in size and fame so that the course has modified over the years to make room for more participants. In recent years, the leadership behind Hood to Coast have expanded their races to new locations, including relays in Texas,…
As a runner in the Pacific Northwest, you have probably heard of, if not participated in, the Hood To Coast Relay, running around 200 miles from Timberline Lodge to Seaside. The relay is an experience like no other, and whether you love it or not, the memories stick with you for a long time. Application date for 2019 has passed and acceptance (or not) letters were sent out in October, now you have several months…
I’ve run the Hood to Coast Relay almost a dozen times now, and I’m always surprised that there aren’t more accidents in the relay’s history. The safety record is certainly not spotless, (as proved this year with the incident at Exchange 24,) but considering how many years the relay has been around and all the tired runners out on the course over a span of two very long days, (not to mention all those vehicles,)…
In 2016, Hood to Coast Race Series took over the Rogue Run in an effort to support and grow a great Southern Oregon event. Now in its second running, the 2017 Providence Rogue Run features a variety of distances (Marathon, Half, and 10k) on one of the area’s best road running courses – the Bear Creek Greenway. The Marathon is a Boston Qualifier, and judging from the elevation map, it’s ripe for securing your BM…
It seems like yesterday that the new Hood to Coast Washington was announced and teams rushed to fill the event up in the blink of an eye. Run Oregon decided to field a team, and I (as the continuously terrible captain), put all planning aside because “it’s months away!”… Well, now that the race is just around the corner, I thought I’d present some info to 1) get excited for and 2) make sure no…
First and foremost, registration for the inaugural Hood to Coast Washington (#HTCWA) opens tomorrow (December 7th, 2016) at 12:01 AM! The field will be capped at 250 teams, and we wouldn’t be surprised if it fills within the first few weeks or even days (and maybe even day of). I am fairly certain that we don’t need to go too in-depth around who Hood to Coast is and their race as a whole. But after…
Over the past few years, Hood to Coast’s annual Turkey Trot has seen some transformation. In 2015, the event moved from a Thanksgiving Day morning run at Mary S. Young park in West Linn to a Wednesday night run through the Christmas lights at PIR. Now in 2016, the event’s day and location are staying the same, but they are forgoing the 10k distance and instead adding 4-person relay. Now these changes may or…
This was originally posted on August 18, 2014, but we thought it would be a perfect time to bring it back this year. We miss Maryalicia, but are happy that her posts still are around for all of use to see and use! Can you believe Hood to Coast is one week away? Technically less than! Well it’s time to start thinking about packing and logistics during the race. Some of you may have started,…
This recap was submitted by Run Oregon reader Blake Timm. Feel free to Submit a Guest Post in the “Contact Us” tab if you want to get involved. No matter how crazy it is, there is something special about a chance to run Hood to Coast, especially when you don’t get a chance to run it often. When my daughter’s teacher asked if I wanted to join her Hood to Coast team this year, I couldn’t pass…
