The Providence Hood to Coast Relay is the most popular and largest running/walking relay race in the world, drawing participants from over 40 countries and all 50 states annually. Known as the Mother of All Relays, the event takes 8-12 member relay teams through the unique and beautiful Oregon terrain, starting from the iconic top of Mount Hood and ending at the beaches of the Pacific Ocean. This 196-mile relay has operated since 1982 when Bob Foote, the president of the Oregon Road Runners Club had a crazy idea for a local relay race.
The Race’s admirable mission is “to create the most significant long distance running and walking relay in the world, utilizing the event as a platform to create social reconnection, environmental awareness and implement goal-based solutions to increase sustained physical fitness amongst an inclusive and multicultural community in the United States and abroad.”
