I’d like to share a little bit about a personal endeavor that I’ve participate in for the last 4 years. It’s the Hood to Coast Relay Race. My passion for running got me involved in this race of epic proportion. It’s titled the “Mother of All Relay Races” and it’s the largest relay in the world. The race starts at MT Hood in Oregon, elevation 11,234 ft, and winds it way across Oregon State some 197 to finish at the ocean in the town of Seaside. There are 15,000 people that participate in this grueling race. Eight to twelve people are allowed per team. Every year our team has finished in the top 5 of our age bracket and have earned a spot in open registration. This mean that we bypass the lotto drawing and get a personal invite back to run! This race supports the American Cancer Society and last year it raised $500,000 for ACS. I look forward to this race every year and all the new adventures that it holds!
Two years ago, the race was filmed and the documentary will be showing in theaters across the nation on 1/11/11. Take a peek at the trailer below. It’s quite an unusual race!
