My fight with cancer over the last couple of decades now gives the Hood To Coast and Por tland To Coast Relays an even higher mission than their initial humble beginnings. Treatments that once existed only in the imagination are practiced ever y day at Providence Cancer Center, now considered one of the top cancer research and treatment center s in the United States. The center is a pioneer in immunotherapy, which harnesses the body’s immune system to eradicate cancer. This leading-edge approach to cancer treatment recently was called the scientific “breakthrough of the year.” Providence also is home to nationally recognized exper ts in specific tumor types, and its unique patient-centered design cares for patients and their loved ones from diagnosis through recover y. Having a world-class cancer center in our backyard is improving the lives of Oregonians 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 Center research program (www.ever ydayhero.com/us/finishcancer2016) to save potentially millions of lives in the future.

Organizing the Mother of All Relays, the Providence Hood To Coast Relay, takes large scale planning and preparation. The countless details necessary to create this incredible event are accomplished by our dedicated Race Committee, Course Coordinators and advisors who work year-round to bring walkers the enjoyment, support, and safety of a world class event. A huge THANK YOU must go out to our race VOLUNTEERS! The Hood To Coast and Portland To Coast Relays could not take place without the hard work and assistance of 3,600 volunteers along the course, from Start to Finish.

Van 2 is encouraged to rendevous with Van 1 at Exchange 18. “Out-of-Town” teams receive their packets, race numbers, wrist wraps, vehicle signs, and T-shirts at the Start. Arrive 45 minutes prior to your Start Time to collect these materials and officially check in. CHECK-IN PROCEDURES:

The combination of the first three of these is perhaps the most crucial. Some legs are notorious for brutal sun exposure during the day. Legs 13, 16, and 17 where late afternoon running can be in direct sun, as well as Leg 35, which have little shade and nearly no van support for the majority of the leg. Runners who push these legs too hard will severely pay for it in their second and legs, ending up stiff, sore and sometimes injured.

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 #14 through #16). The race course and finish line 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 more than one of their runners at the same time (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 9:00 PM. This means some exchanges (33, 34 and 35) may close before 9:00 pm due to scheduling.

In 1982, the first year of Hood To Coast, there was just 8 teams! Hood To Coast’s second year in Seaside, runners had to run the equivalent of 12 blocks on the sand to the turnaround area finish line One year in the mid 1990’s, Hood To Coast allowed one world class MTV in-line skate team to participate.

There are 564 porta-potties and 4,400 rolls of porta-pottie toilet paper are used along the route. The course record, set in 1995 still stands, led by an elite Nike team called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Mambu Badduâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and Team Captain, Alberto Salazar. They averaged 4:49 per mile for 196 miles.

Giving On Course Aid/ Support Absolutely no team members or spectators are allowed to cross busy highways or streets with the purpose of giving aid or support to participants running along that side of the

to the other side of the road where the runner

Each team needs to be prepared to care for the common medical needs of their runner,

is, park, and unload support people.

and 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 most exchange zones along the race course. Ham operator’s primary responsibility is communication 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, and let the radio operators know at the next Exchange. They are capable of calling in full emergency medical, police, and fire response. (Radio communications volunteers do not fulfill the normal team volunteer requirement). 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! 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 6:00 PM through 7:00 AM (through 9:00 AM 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 Reflectivity be present on the front and back of the participant while running/walking in the event. 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. Flashlight headlamp: http://www.ledlenserusa.com/headlamps We do not specify what kind of flashing light, as long as it is LED. Two LED flashers will be provided again this year in each Team Captain bag at Packet Pick-up. Runners must understand there WON’T be any police promised to protect them from vehicle traffic along the course. Great care must be exercised at all times by runners and team vehicles. Runners must face traffic (except 14-16, where they run on the right side of the road) and obey all traffic laws. A motorcycle patrol group will be on the course (legs 13-35) for safety monitoring. At several exchanges, HTC hires professional traffic flaggers. Obey their signals.

Hydration & First Aid There are not First Aid Stations on the course. There are some long sections of the course in the latter stages where no available water sources exist. BE PREPARED. Midday temperatures may be hot! It’s important to continually hydrate. CARRY LARGE WATER CONTAINERS in your vans to refill bottles. The average team is on the course for 29 hours, so drink plenty of fluids! A person running should consume 12+ cups a day. Many injuries are related to soft tissue trauma and are effectively treated with ice. Real ice works better than chemical ice packs. Ice should be used with plastic bags and a damp towel over sore, tender, bruised and blistered areas. Any wrapping or taping should only take place after effective ice therapy. Follow guidelines for R.I.C.E. (Rest Ice Compression Elevation).

tHANK YOU VOLUNTEERS

The race wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be possible without support from 3,600 dedicated volunteers along the course! The provision of three (3) volunteers per local team ensures that all participants have a well supported and safe event. For complete volunteer requirements visit:

driver guide

Driving the course requires as much planning as running the race. Follow these directions to help you plan and handle over 2,000 vans concentrated in the same area during a 36-hour time period.

Drive Course Before The Race Note where all turns are located.

Identify exchanges (and areas where more time will be required). Know the difficult parking areas and plan accordingly. Be aware of where stops can be made to provide runner support. Know where food and restrooms are located. It’s very important. Don’t violate the law by going on private property. Locate gas stations, last fuel stop before Seaside is in St. Helens (Leg 18). Establish places, (other than exchanges), where your team vans can meet. Become aware of areas where vans won’t be in contact with their runner and how to deal effectively. Cell phone coverage may not be available in all areas (particularly legs 18-32).

Areas Restricted To One Van

There are at least two areas on the course that will be restricted to one van per team due to narrow roads with limited space for high concentrations of vans. Between Exch 18 (Columbia Co. Fairgrounds/St. Helens and Intersection of HWY 202 and Old Ranch Road (Leg 23). Map shown in handbook (page 39). Between Olney (Exchange 31) and HWY 101 in Seaside (Leg 36). Map shown in handbook (page 52). There are also shortcut routes listed in the handbook leg maps for Exchanges 6 to 12, and between Exchanges 12 and 13.

Free Towing / Lock-Out Assistance As a service to participants, we’ve contracted with Allbright Towing for FREE towing/ lock out services (Portland - Seaside), -they’re on call for the race! (503) 648-2662 or cell: (971) 645-6182. If you are out of cell service, contact your nearest exchange leader who will radio an Allbright Towing truck.

Rule Reminders No team members are allowed to cross highways or streets to give aid. Vans must pull over to that side of road and park. No Parking/stopping within 500 feet of an exchange! Don’t drop off teammates near the exchange zone. 30 minute penalty! Vans must obey the No Parking Between Barricades signs and volunteers parking instructions. Exchanges are marked with yellow paint on paved roads and pink flagging along gravel roads.

VAN 1 DRIVING DIRECTIONS:

• Upon entering Astoria, turn left onto the long bridge over the bay following the signs saying to "Warrenton and Seaside" until reaching Hwy 101. • Drive south along Hwy 101 approx. 25 miles to Seaside. • The Finish is on the beach at the end of Broadway St. (commonly called "the turnaround/prom") in Seaside. (See Seaside Shuttle Map, page 60 for parking options). Park in shuttle area or other, and meet your last runner one block north of the turnaround on the beach near where Oceanway Ave dead-ends at the beach. This route takes 45-50 minutes to Seaside and is substantially faster than following the race course.

COMMITMENT TO PORTLAND TO COAST TRAFFIC SAFETY You and your team have the unique opportunity of participating in ‘The Mother of All Relays’ in part because of the local authorities and volunteers who assist in creating a safe relay environment. To keep the roads safe for all 17,400 participants, as well as non-relay vehicles, we annually partner with law enforcement to create a ‘Safety Agreement’ for all teams to abide by. It is mandatory that EVERY PTC TEAM SIGN ONE (1) COPY OF THIS SAFETY AGREEMENT. This agreement must be turned in at the Start Check-In Area. FAILURE TO TURN IN THE SIGNED SAFETY AGREEMENT WILL RESULT IN A TEAM NOT ALLOWED TO START AT THEIR ASSIGNED TIME. 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!

Remember to fill out (in entirety) the medical info on the back of your race bib! Cut here and turn in lower half to law enforcement representative at Start Check-In Area

Safety Agreement • 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. (PTC is exempt from any responsibility or liability for illegal acts, and will report illegal acts if witnessed). • 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 com pletely 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. • Team vehicles shall obey littering laws at all times. • Teams agree to use approved restrooms 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 16-17). Failure to adhere to this agreement could result in my team's disqualification. SIGNATURE or TEAM #: ________________________________________
