Are you relay going to do this?
Gather friends and family to form a team or a cheering section for the Three Capes Marathon Relay, which can be run solo or as two or five-person teams. The marathon race “with a view” will be hosted Saturday, Feb. 25, in Tillamook County.
The spectacularly scenic 26.2-mile course starts at Cape Meares Lake, cruises over Cape Lookout and finishes at Cape Kiwanda in Pacific City, passing through or running adjacent to six state parks, two national wildlife refuges, multiple Tillamook County parks and offering stunning vantage points of the Tillamook Bay, Netarts Bay and the Pacific Ocean along the way.
The course is separated into five legs of distances from 4.37 miles to just under seven miles. Team categories include: family, business, school and Clydesdale. Starting and ending at sea level, there is nearly 2,400 feet of climb within the course, offering a challenging race that is great for building team camaraderie.
The cost for registration is $79 for the solo marathoner, $129 for a two-person team and $249 for a five-person team. Every participant will receive a Three Capes Relay medal when crossing the finish line and those who register by February 15 will also receive a race t-shirt.
Teams of high school runners can receive a 30-percent discount by using the code, “High School Runner” when registering.
