TEAM HANDBOOK
WELCOME TO THE
MOTHER OF ALL RELAYS
Our 37th annual journey from mountain to sea has unquestionably progressed from its modest inception in 1982. I still fondly reflect upon
that first year when standing on the beach with our victorious team and my three month old daughter, Felicia. I remember the hand-drawn
course maps and elevations, wheel-measured exact 5.0 mile legs, eight teams, thin white one-color race shirts, no porta-potties or permits,
and a spaghetti dinner and beer for the beach party. Wow, could this really have been our origins?
When conceiving of this first iconic ultra-relay, I felt that there had to be an unconventional experience out there for us runners. I was bored
by the same uniform, industrial 10k’s in town. The growth and overwhelming popularity of Hood To Coast is testimony to the fact that I wasn’t
alone in these feelings. Besides the sheer fun of Hood To Coast, it’s been said that HTC provides a spiritual experience for the soul, and an
opportunity to connect deeply with others. These same people say that they feel reinvigorated, and changed as a result of the experience.
My fight with cancer over the last couple of decades now gives the Hood To Coast and Portland To Coast Relays an even higher purpose
than its initial unassuming start. Treatments that once existed only in our dreams are real scientific breakthroughs delivering results today at
Providence Cancer Institute, considered one of the top cancer research and treatment centers in the U.S. The Providence Cancer Institute is
at the forefront of immunotherapy, which harnesses the body’s own immune system to eradicate cancer. This approach to cancer treatment
recently was called the scientific “breakthrough of the year.” Having a world-class Cancer Institute in our backyard is improving the lives of
Northwest residents with cancer – and strengthening the health of our communities. I hope each one of you will share in our passion for
fundraising by donating to the Providence Cancer Institute research program (www.hoodtocoastrelay.com/htc/charity) to save prospectively
millions of lives. Thank you!
Get set for an inspiring adventure! The 37th annual Mother of All Relays will be here before you know it –you and teammates at the Mt Hood
Start Line, running through rolling farmland, alongside downtown Portland’s river, over challenging forested roads to the Pacific Ocean beach
party, where camaraderie and a community of likeminded participants embrace the essence of what the 2018 Providence Hood To Coast
Relays is all about!
As our staff works diligently throughout the year to create the highest quality and most storied relay, and our top priority still remains helping
teams have a safe, positive experience. To accomplish that, we need you all to be well-informed participants! This handbook provides key tips
and info to ensure an incredible, memorable race.
2018 Tips:
• If you’re considered a local team, someone should attend Packet Pick-up to pick up your team’s bag/supplies on August 11 at Providence Park.
• NEW: Van 2 Check-in at Exchange 6 – a team member from Van 2 will show safety equipment before their Leg 6 runner arrives, in order to be allowed
to continue on the race course (see page 9 for details)!
• Check the handbook for water stop locations on legs over 6 miles!
• Utilize plastic recycling receptacles at the Start, all exchanges, and at the Finish. Refill water containers and re-use water bottles when possible.
• Three volunteers are required to pass the mandatory online training (for “local” teams), July 12-Aug 7.
• Audio amplification worn outside the ear is allowed. Earbuds in the ear will result in DQ.
• It goes without saying, but remember no alcohol, marijuana or other substances are allowed to be consumed by participants during the race or on
the race course. Witnessed activity will result in immediate team DQ.
• Participants will wear a reflective vest from 6pm-9am, and a reflective vest, front/back flasher, and flashlight (or headlamp) from 6pm-7am.
Save something for the end, so you can celebrate the accomplishment of persevering 199 miles together as one united team with a rockin’
beach Finish Party throughout the afternoon and evening!
We hope you and your teammates remember to enjoy the camaraderie and laughs along the way. I look forward to seeing you at the race!
Cheers!

#HTC17 @ bko mo d a
volunteers
Teams with at least one member residing within a 100 mile radius
of Portland are considered local and required to provide three
race volunteers. There is no buy-out option. Don’t bring children
or dogs. Volunteers should be assertive and plan to work. Captains
are responsible for ensuring that their volunteers each take (and
pass) the mandatory online training, are at their appointed job,
at the designated time, and fulfill the required tasks. Volunteers
receive shirts on-site. Bring a flashlight and two LED flashers for a
night shift. If a volunteer cannot report, it is up to the team to find
a replacement and make sure they report to their specific job site.

Recruit Teammates
Runners looking for a team and team captains looking for runners can connect by
visiting www.htcrelayforum.com or www.facebook.com/HoodToCoast Chat with fellow
participants, ask questions, and post to recruit other runners! Discussions range from
teams looking for additional runners, to exchanging tips/advice and logistics.
#HTC17 @ pr u vit _ htc1 7
Team Time
Upon registering, your team has committed to average (as a whole) a 9:45 minutes mile
pace or less (32 1/2 hrs in total time). No special seeding requests for starting times will
be accepted. Teams that violate their assigned start time will be disqualified and subject
to suspension in future events. It should be understood that the start time for any HTC
team could result in a 9:00pm finish Saturday evening.
#HTC17 @ mag d apu s s o
runner Substitution
No runner may drop out of the race solely for the purpose of the team substituting a faster
participant in their place. If a runner is forced out due to injury or illness, they MAY NOT
be reinstated into the team lineup. The team must finish the event with the remaining
runners moving forward in the same sequence. No alternates may be added once the
team has started. (60 min. penalty if involved in improper substitution.)
#HTC17 @ r u nwit hwe s
Legs
All teams are to run their members in rotating legs and in the same sequence of rotation
throughout the race. Runner on Leg 1 would thus run Legs 1, 13, and 25. When determining
who will run each leg, (besides distance and leg rating), Captains should consider the
following:
#HTC17 @ r 2 b_ pd x
- Time of day runners will encounter each leg
- Leg exposure to sun and/or wind
- Variable weather
- Runner ability/fitness
- Runner familiarity with the area
- Van support
- Runner willingness to run on a gravel and potentially dusty) road #HTC17 @ r yd u ck z
The combination of the first three of these is perhaps the most crucial. Runners on any
given leg can experience intense exposure to direct sunlight and may not have immediate
access to their team support vehicle. See individual leg maps for specific details. The
first three legs from Mount Hood each drop an average of 1300 - 1400 feet in elevation!
Runners who push these legs too hard will severely pay for it in their second and third
#HTC17 @ t hi.co ach
legs, ending up stiff and sore.
14
HTC18
Substitution Process
If a runner drops out due to injury or illness during a leg and isn’t able to walk to the next
exchange, the next runner in rotation may take the wrist wrap and continue to the end
of that leg. The next leg must be run by the next runner in rotation.
#HTC 17 @ j e n nypics
Mixed Division Process:
If a runner on a Mixed Division team becomes injured and drops out during the leg, the
paragraph above applies with the addition that the replacement runner must be of the
same gender. A minimum of seventeen(17) legs must be completed by female racers
otherwise the team with be reclassified into the Men’s Category. (See revised rotation to
the right, presume injury to F-1 on Leg 4)

At Providence Cancer Institute, patients and families benefit from some of the finest cancer
services in the world, such as the best in diagnostic imaging, state-of-the-art treatments
including immunotherapy, internationally-renowned research, and compassionate
counseling and support. Funds raised for Providence Cancer Institute will support
leading-edge research to #FINISHCANCER.
WHAT IS IMMUNOTHERAPY?
As the body’s natural defense system, the immune
system hunts down and destroys harmful invaders,
such as bacteria, viruses and even cancer cells. But
cancers can be masters of disguise, evading detection
and outsmarting the immune system. Immunotherapy
enhances the immune system’s ability to detect and
eliminate cancer, and Providence Cancer Institute is a
leader in immunotherapy for patients with cancer.
The following rules are for the safety of participants. Violation will result in a time penalty or disqualification.

Any conduct deemed unsafe or unsportsmanlike by Race Officials will not be tolerated. Quiet hours are to be observed from
10:00pm - 6:00am. No loud noise, music, or yelling during quiet hours. No van decorations or team costumes that are overtly
suggestive, sexual, or that contain foul language.

team (60 min. penalty minimum) for rule violations, abusive behavior, or failure to follow instructions given by volunteers.
NO BICYCLES OR DOGS dq
No bicycles or dogs are allowed to accompany participants on the race course.
RACER
PARTICIPANT ROTATION VIOLATION 60 min
All teams are to rotate their team members in the same sequence throughout the race, not consecutively in a row. Participants
cannot run back to back legs. See pg. 15 for substitutions and sequence info.
If a runner/walker on a Mixed Division team becomes injured and drops out during a leg, the injured runner/walker must be
replaced with the next team member in rotation of the same gender. See pg. 15 for substitutions and sequence info.
If a team member drops out due to injury or illness during a leg, only the next runner or walker in rotation can take the wrist wrap
and continue, (but only to the next exchange point). The next person in rotation can only finish the unfinished portion of the
previous leg and go no further. A handoff must occur at the exchange point to the next participant in rotation. No more than one
substitution in one leg is allowed. See pg. 15 for substitutions and sequence info.
Participants are to travel along the left shoulder of the roadway at all times, unless officially instructed otherwise (1-7 & 14-16).
Teams that start the race early or finish over 2.5 hours faster than their anticipated finish time risk being disqualified and all
teammates may be banned from future participation.

COURSE GUIDELINES
Exchanges are marked in yellow paint on paved roads, and pink flagging along gravel roads. Portions of this course do feature
gravel stretches, so bring bandannas/painter’s masks.
Waiting Runners who will run the next leg MUST line up single file (after warming up) along the exchange zone shoulder of the
road behind the EXCHANGE POINT. Faster team runners are to be towards the front. Step out of the CHUTE into the EXCHANGE
ZONE as your runner approaches. Runners finishing must exit the exchange zone promptly and follow volunteer instructions.
All Spectators MUST remain on the RIGHT SIDE of the road. Runners are to run along the left side of the road except as indicated in
the Team Handbook (legs #1 through #7 and legs #14 through #16).
The race course will officially close Saturday evening at 9:00pm. Any teams still on the course at that time are requested to
either discontinue the race, or finish by running simultaneous runners (only if instructed by Race Officials and given a ‘LeapFrog’ to
turn in at the Finish). If your team has been honest in supplying race pace times, everyone should finish no later than 9:00PM. This
means some exchanges (33, 34 and 35) may close before 9:00pm due to scheduling.

safety
Emergency Procedure
In an emergency, call 911 and locate the Exchange Leader or Radio Operator at the nearest Exchange. Medical care and first aid
safety is the responsibility of each team and participant. Each team needs to be prepared to care for the common medical needs of
their runner, and should have a first aid kit prepared. You and your teammates MUST write important emergency contact and
medical info on the back of your race bibs!
Communications
Radio Communication Operators are at all exchange zones along the race course. Ham operators’ primary responsibility is communi-
cation for emergencies, but they also help with logistical issues. If you see anyone hurt, please get their race number, exact location,
and nature of the emergency, if possible. Report this information to radio operators at the next Exchange. They are capable of calling
in full emergency medical, police, and fire response. Radio volunteers register via: https://ham.hoodtocoast.com/
Running At Night
Maintain contact with your van within reason along the course. DO NOT follow behind runners/walkers! Vans
can pull in a safe area (off of the road)! Don’t obstruct traffic! Participants must wear a reflective vest, front
and back LED flashers, and carry a flashlight or wear a headlamp from 6:00pm through 7:00am (through
9:00am for reflective vest only) while running. THIS IS STRICTLY ENFORCED. Teammates/support personnel are
highly encouraged to wear a reflective vest and LED flasher when not inside the race vehicle, while on the course or at an exchange.
Acceptable reflectivity must be present on the front and back of the participant during the hours listed above. Reflective striping
on a shirt or vest must be at least 1/3” thick. Reflectivity on shorts, pants, or hat does not count towards meeting the minimum
requirement. A reflective vest or Y reflective harness are acceptable, whereas a reflective belt, reflective cloth, and/or reflective
sleeves will not be accepted. We do not specify what kind of flashing light, as long as it is LED.
Runners must understand there are NOT any police promised to protect them from vehicle traffic along the course. Great care must
be exercised at all times by racers and team vehicles. Racers proceed on the right side of the road for the majority of legs and must
obey all traffic laws. At several exchanges, HTC hires professional traffic flaggers; obey their signals.
INCLEMENT WEATHER
With certain severe weather conditions where the welfare of participants is at risk, or where significant damage or alterations to
the race course occur, HTC organizers reserve the right to cancel the event. No refunds will be given if the race is canceled due to
weather. Conditions that may result in the relay being canceled or delayed include but are not limited to the following: severe heat,
electrical storm, snow, earthquakes, hurricanes, flooding, fog, etc. If there is extreme heat during the race we reserve the right to
hold teams until the temperature drops. If there is lightning at the start of the race that organizers deem unsuitable for participating,
HTC reserves the right to delay starts or hold the race until the lightning clears.

2018 COMMITMENT TO
HOOD TO COAST TRAFFIC SAFETY
To keep the roads safe for all 17,400 participants, team vehicles and community residents, we annually part-
ner with law enforcement to create a ‘Safety Agreement’ that all teams must follow. Teams and drivers are
responsible for their own safety, as well as the safety of others traveling along the relay route. Motorists and
relay participants rightfully deserve and appreciate safe roads. Thanks for driving safely!
This agreement must be signed and turned in at the Start Van 1 Check-In Area in order to proceed to
the start line and begin Leg 1.
The Hood To Coast Relay is conducted on open roads and is open to all traffic (unless specifically
stated by Race Organizers). All teams agree to abide by the following regulations:
All state traffic laws shall be obeyed at all times while operating your Team Vehicle.
Violators of any Motor Vehicle laws are subject to ticketing by law enforcement at all times. (HTC is exempt
from any responsibility or liability for illegal acts, and will report illegal acts if witnessed).
Team vehicles shall not pull off to side of road on Leg 1 or Leg 2.
Team Vehicles must completely pull off to the side of the road when stopping to assist teammates, and not
block the path of runners. (Vehicles are required by law to be over the fog line and not in traffic lanes. Runners
are required to use the shoulders when available; team vans must exit the roadway completely to be clear of
traffic and racers on the shoulder).
Team Vehicles shall not block the roadway or race course at any time.
Team Vehicles shall not block private residential driveways or roadways.
Team Vehicles shall respect neighborhoods and others along highway and roads. The use of a horn (unless
as a reasonable warning) and playing loud music may be unlawful.
Team Vehicles may need to drive slower than the posted speed limit, but shall not impede traffic or follow
on roads behind a runner.
Team vehicles shall obey the speed laws at all times.
Open containers of alcoholic beverages are prohibited in any motor vehicle at all times when on a public
highway.
Team vehicles shall obey drinking and driving laws at all times.
Team vehicles shall obey littering laws at all times.
Teams agree to use approved rest rooms and porta-potties, exclusively at all times.
Except in an emergency, all drivers shall obey Oregon's cell phone law. Avoid distractions -no texting. Use
hands-free devices.
On behalf of my teammates, I have read the above ‘Safety Agreement’ and concur that our team will
abide by all Oregon traffic safety laws and Main Race Rules (page 18-19). Failure to adhere to this
agreement could result in my team's disqualification.

PENALTIEs FORM
• All completed penalty forms must be turned in to the finish area ‘Penalties’ table within 30
minutes of finishing. Be specific! We must have a team number to identify teams.
• The Rules Committee will review completed penalty forms throughout Saturday. They will
not be available to discuss the penalty/protest. Teams can fill out a written protest/penalty if
they do not agree with the penalty posted.
• Penalty times will be added to team finish times. These new times will then be posted on
the results.
• All Rules Committee decisions are final.
