I did this 3 years ago. It's pretty cool. Anybody that runs should try it sometime. Even if you don't run much (like me) you should try it.

You should try Hood to Coast. I would never do a marathon. Hood to Coast is painful, but it's a lot of fun.

Marathoners ought to take a hint from the original Marathoner. They certainly confirm his experience.

Anybody every hear of long-distance cyclists or swimmers keeling over dead like runners do?

Interesting. I've run 3 marathons in my life time.

It's an annual event here. I wonder how true or fake the movie will be.

The relay was started by Portland architect Bob Foote, who was then president of Oregon Road Runners Club. The first relay in 1982 drew eight teams that ran from Timberline to Kiwanda Beach near Pacific City, Oregon. The relay grew rapidly to over 400 teams by 1986. In 1989, the finish area was moved to Seaside where it remains today. Since then, the race has become extremely popular, attracting teams of elite and recreational runners alike.

Like many businesses, The Hood To Coast Relay is a for-profit business. While the American Cancer Society has been a longtime sponsor, it had not been prominently promoted in race literature until Foote himself was diagnosed and successfully treated for melanoma in 2005. The race then began to take on a more aggressive approach to fundraising, and in 2009 alone, over $360,000 was raised for the American Cancer Society. In 2006, Foote's daughter, Felicia Hubber, was brought on board the family business to manage the majority of race logistics. She currently serves as Race Director.
