Scott and Carrie Douglass
We developed this race to highlight the beauty of Central Oregon and to provide a different relay experience – one focused on team spirit and camaraderie, a challenging and varied race course, an intimate feel, and a non-congested relaxed race experience. Scott took two years off work to develop the course and prepare for the first year and Scott and Carrie produced the inaugural CLR one week after getting married in July 2008!
Scott is currently serving on active duty in the US Navy. LCDR Scott Douglass is assigned to Navy Recruiting District San Francisco where he is the Nuclear & Civil Engineer Programs Coordinator for Northern California and manages four Navy enlisted recruiting stations in the Bay Area. Scott was the #3 Nuclear Engineering officer recruiter in the nation in 2011. Scott is a US Coast Guard licensed merchant ship officer and has a Bachelors of Science in Intermodal Logistics and Transportation from the United States Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, NY. He is a proud graduate of Mountain View High School in Bend, OR.
When Carrie isn’t working on the Cascade Lakes Relay she is the Deputy Director at the CEE-Trust, where she has the privilege of working with a network of city-based foundations and non-profits focused on education innovation. Carrie has an MBA from Boston University and a Bachelor of Arts in Education from the University of Portland, OR. She is a proud graduate of Bend Senior High School in Bend, OR.
Carrie and Scott met in 6th Grade in Bend, OR. We have a 2-year-old puppy named Sierra who loves to run with us. Our friends think we’re crazy for producing these events as an extra hobby on top of our full-time jobs, but we love talking with our participants throughout the year and seeing you each summer along the course! Thank you for bringing us so much joy – your energy and enthusiasm keeps us going throughout the year on this crazy venture!
Teri Smith
Teri Smith has one goal as the Director of Communications and Camaraderie for the Cascade Lakes Race Group – to make you feel like part of the family. “The thing that impressed me about Scott and Carrie from the very beginning is how much they care about their athletes,” says Teri. “This is their labor of love. You join one big crazy family when you run one of their relays.”
An avid runner and race walker who enjoys any distance, be it 5k or 50 miles, Teri brings a passion for social media, technology and relays to her duties for the Cascade Lakes Race Group. While she regrets that she won’t be able to continue her unbroken streak of CLRs, she is looking forward to the chance to connect with as many runners and walkers as possible in the coming years.
Rory and Wendy McCulloch
Hello! We are Rory and Wendy McCulloch, a husband/wife team, overseeing the walking portions of these amazing relay races. We live and work in Bend, Oregon and consider ourselves remarkably lucky to call this place home. We both come from Washington State where we were married twelve years ago. These days, Wendy works as a Teacher and Dean at High Desert Middle School, while Rory splits his time between being an at-home dad and health coach for Take Shape for Life. We have a combined 40 years of running and walking experience, and still enjoy participating in everything from 5k’s to marathons. We have two amazing kids as well, who have both adopted our love of running and being in the outdoors. We are excited about our roles as walk directors for these Cascade Lakes and Sandpoint to Spokane Relays, and look forward to doing our part to help make these events great!
