“We left behind our laptops, flat screens, offices and indoor living.  We ran through the mountains, marshes, forests and streams.  We dined with the mosquitoes and slept with the ants.  Through the course of our adventure, we climbed 8,364 feet and ran back down.  Our distance covered was equal to 871 laps around a track.  We undoubtedly had a 50 degrees swing in temperature and burned nearly 31,000 calories while running.  This adventure, my friends, was an amazing feat and one to hold with pride.  Being a Sole Brother comes with great distinction. Thanks for letting me forget about my civilized concerns and remember what it means to be alive!”

“As previous Hood to Coasters, we really appreciated the easy exchanges and much simplified logistics at the start area, van exchanges, pretty much everywhere!The scenery was spectacular, the mosquitos lethal, as promised!  It was definitely a very challenging relay, and the weather conditions added an additional element!  It felt like quite an accomplishment in the end, & that’s the way it should be.  Thanks for organizing a great race; I’m sure it will grow to your cap-off point in no time.”

“First of all I would like to thank you and the rest of the CLR staff for a great experience.   Going into this event with quite a bit of experience from the Portland to Coast event, I have to say I was pleasantly surprised at how relatively smooth everything went. I appreciate the fact that we did not have to leave our walker to rush to the next exchange.  The scenery was incredible.  I also wanted to thank you for checking on us periodically.  I was impressed that you stayed up all night too! As far as the course....It was very challenging, but that is why we are out there!”
