HOW IT WORKS

Gather 11 other friends, 2 vans, 2 volunteers and get ready for a scenic, challenging adventure! The Cascade Lakes Relay runs through the day and night as teams complete 36 continuous legs varying in length from 2.5 - 8.7 miles on some of the most diverse terrain Oregon can muster.  Your vans will likely be packed with smelly socks, and more granola bars than you care to consume!

Running Teams (7-12 runners)

Running teams consist of 7-12 runners, with each runner completing 3 legs over 216.6 miles from Diamond Lake Resort to NorthWest Crossing in Bend, OR. Run teams should anticipate starting between 5:45 am and 1:00 pm on Friday depending on your teams' average 10k run time.

Ultra Running Teams (6 or less runners)

Ultra teams consist of 4-6 runners and will run the full 216.6 mile course from Diamond Lake Resort to NorthWest Crossing in Bend Oregon. Each member of the ultra team must run an equal number of legs (as close as mathematically possible). Start times will be determined once average 10k team times are submitted.
  
Walking Teams (8-12 walkers)

The walking course is 132.4 miles, beginning at Silver Lake Oregon and finishing at NorthWest Crossing. The course consists of 24 legs, so each participant on a 12 person team walks two legs; on an 8 person team, each walks three legs. Walk teams should anticipate starting the race between 7:00 am and 12:00 pm on Friday morning depending on your teams' average 10k walk time.

“Running” in any form is not allowed on any leg of the walking event; the rules will be strictly enforced.

High School Challenge Teams (8-12 runners)
 
High School Challenge teams run the 132.4 mile course from Silver Lake to NorthWest Crossing. The course consists of 24 legs, so each runner on a 12 person team runs 2 legs; on an 8 person team, each participant runs 3 legs. High School Challenge teams should anticipate starting the race at 10pm Friday night in Silver Lake.
