The relay began in 1982. It was started by Portland architect Bob Foote, who was then president of Oregon Road Runners Club.

Loved visiting Mt Hood this year. Can’t wait to move out that way (currently in Georgia).
Wendy Hood says…
How exciting!
I have so many friends who love doing the long distance running thing
A film showing us about such an epic race may help me understand the drive these extraordinary people gave.
Save me a seat!

Although I live on the Gulf Coast in Alabama, the Oregon coast is the most breathtaking I’ve seen, and I’ve seen the Atlantic from Maine where I lived, and the Gulf from Texas and Florida but none can compare with the beauty of Oregon. For those that were born there & still live there, you have no idea how lucky you are. I’ve visted your coast in the Fall and Winter but never Spring or Summer. I will be back this spring when I visit my lucky daughter who chose to live in Portland 14 years ago and has never regretted it for one day.

I ran this twice with a group of co-workers several years ago. It was the most challenging thing I had ever done. I would do this again in a heartbeat if I didn’t have injuries that prevent me from running like that anymore. It is an experience not to be forgotten!

Watched the ending of the Hood to Coast and thought it was great!
