My Latest Project

It's no secret to anyone who knows me - I love relays. I've been raving about the Hood to Coast since I ran my first (and only) one in 1997. But I've been walked the Portland to Coast 8 times, captained twice, and been a van captain three years running. Last year I had the chance to run in the inaugural Cascade Lakes Relay, and I've been counting the days to my return ever since. The idea of the relay is one that I gravitate to, and there is nothing that gets me more giddy than race weekend.

So I decided that I would pour some of that enthusiastic energy into some articles for the Runners Lounge, a great website that shares running knowledge among the participants. But as I thought about the best way to put together the information, I realized what was really missing was a good website on running relays. I could find articles here and there, but nothing comprehensive.

So on a whim, I registered runningrelays.com and installed blogging software. And now, I am happy to say, I have a work in progress - www.runningrelays.com. I've been searching high and low for the relays, and I have been shocked by how many I've found! There are so many cool sounding events - I will be 110 before I get to them all. I've been madly writing articles and researching races, much to the detriment of the care of my family, home and other work obligations, but what I am putting together I hope will be helpful for those thinking about running relays.

At the very least, it has me dreaming about new events.
