Today is the day Hood to Coast, one of the biggest relay races in the country, fills our Highway 26 with funky vans and costumed runners for miles and miles. The race starts at Timberline Lodge and ends at Pacific City at the beach. Here are some fun facts about the run from the official website.

Air quality has been a big concern with lots of smoke socked in the Mt. Hood Village area. Predictions say the lift should come around noon today and with our cool temperatures that have rolled in the majority of runners may be spared the smoke filled air. 

Drivers should be on top of their game watching for distracted van drivers and streams of runners throughout the course.
