Important Note:

Due to increased interest and late sign-ups, team registration has been extended! We encourage all interested individuals and teams to sign up NOW!

Eventually, there will be some kind of a “Cap.” All  registered team captains for the 2008 relay will be granted a "Forever Guaranteed Entry" to future Cascade Lakes Relays. There will be some qualifying conditions imposed and announced at a later date. We really appreciate the support and confidence of all our teams, suppliers and sponsors this year and the event is shaping up very well. If you are planning to be part of the Cascade Lakes Relay in our first year, get your registrations in soon!

Finish Shots



Welcome to the official website for the Cascade Lakes Relay, Lake to Bend Oregon, scheduled for August 1-2, 2008. Our new name reflects that our finish line location has been changed.  The finish line will be the national award winning Planned Community of NW Crossing located on Bend’s Westside. This community is very excited about the opportunity to host all of you and many additional amenities are being planned that were not possible at the Mt. Bachelor Ski area. One of our new amenities will be showers at Summit High School. This concession will be operated by the Summit High Track and Cross Country Program as their fundraiser. Towels should be available but be sure to bring your own just in case. Your donation for this service would be appreciated.

Several very experienced vendors from the Hood to Coast Relay, have approached us and signed on with our event to assure a really quality production in our inaugural year. For example, Brian Penrose of Finishshots.com the 2007 official photographer of HTC will be working our finish line. DeAngelo’s Catering, a 17 year veteran of HTC will be our event caterer.

Late registration will start on May 15, 2008. Running teams will increase to $1020.00. Walk teams will be $780.00. Ultra and Super Ultra Teams will increase by $5.00 per participant. There will be no change for High School Challenge Teams.

Our course is still being finalized, mostly with the US Forest Service south of Hwy 58. The virtual tour pictures on our site continue to represent well the course. Snow came early to the Cascades last fall and we must wait until spring to setup the actual legs and elevation charts.

The Walk course will be about 125 miles. The Run course will be about 217 miles. The Relay will run the back country and we “really, really mean” the back country of the Oregon Cascade Mountains past at least eleven mountain lakes, scenic mountain vista’s, over babbling brooks, and through forests.

The Run/Walk event will consist of (36) legs each. Course maps are now available on our website. The number of Walkers per team shall be (12) maximum and the number for the Running Teams shall be a maximum of (12). Each participant will be required to walk/run (3) legs.

Initial response to this new event has been very positive. This new and exciting running Relay in Central Oregon could be a great alternative if your current team does not get into the Oregon Hood to Coast Relay or you are looking for another venue to substitute for the Washington State Mt. Rainier to the Pacific Relay.

We have established our Blog; please participate by telling us what you would like to see in this event and what you would not like to see. All your suggestions and ideas are welcome. We will also post event information as it becomes available.

Questions may be directed to info@diamondlakemtbachelorrelay.org Please pass the word for us and we look forward to your participation in August, 2008!
