Another successful Hood to Coast is in the books. Here are some pictures from KGWs Running Footage Team's 197 mile odyssey from Timberline Lodge on Mt Hood to the cool waters of the Pacific Ocean at Seaside.


Craig Brown, from the KGW Sales Dept, makes some new friends. These ladies were from a team of Vegas showgirls. THye had an Elvis in their van too.

These ladies, it turns out, are also friends of Criags. 12 Beaches, each wearing a sash from an Oregon Beach town.

One of the cool things about Hood To Coast is camping in the Coast Range. For three hours. Here's what that looks like.

Morning brings fog. In the air, and in the brains of sleep-deprived runners.

KGW's Scott Burton jumps either for joy at being close to finished, or because the pain in his legs made him twitch.

After a long hard run, a bottle of water never looked so good to KGWs Pam Gordon.

Shannon, I love the idea of a friendly competition. Loser team has to take a run off the beach into the ocean perhaps? Any other teams out there want in on this?

Congrats to you beaches as well.

Hi Matt,
Thanks for including the picture of the Beaches! It was great talking with you and Craig - maybe next year we'll have to wager a friendly competition between these two teams...?

Congratulations on a great finish!
The 12 Beaches
