2017 HSC Handbook by Hood To Coast

WELCOME TO THE HIGH SCHOOL CHALLENGE

Our annual pilgrimage from the mountain to the sea has certainly evolved from its humble beginnings back in 1982. I still fondly reflect upon that first year when I stood on the beach with our victorious team and my three month old daughter, Felicia. I remember the hand-drawn maps and leg profiles, wheel-measured exact 5.0 mile legs, eight total teams, white onecolor race shirts, no permits needed, spaghetti and beer for the beach party, and a race committee and staff of one. Wow, could this really have been our roots? When I conceived of this first iconic ultra-relay, I felt that there had to be another alternative out there for us dedicated runners. I was so tired of the same boring flat 10k’s in the city. The growth and overwhelming popularity of Hood To Coast is testimony to the fact that I wasn’t alone in these feelings. Besides the sheer fun of Hood To Coast, it’s been said that our event provides a spiritual-like experience for the soul and an opportunity to look inside one’s core. These same people say that their spirit is reinvigorated, and feel changed for the better, as a result of the experience. My fight with cancer over the last couple of decades now gives the Hood To Coast and Portland To Coast Relays an even higher mission than their initial humble beginnings. Treatments that once existed only in the imagination are practiced every day at Providence Cancer Center, now considered one of the top cancer research and treatment centers 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 experts in specific tumor types, and its unique patient-centered design cares for patients and their loved ones from diagnosis through recovery. 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.everydayhero.com/us/ finishcancer2017/) to save potentially millions of lives in the future. Robert Foote Jr. Founder and Chairman

Travel/Accommodations

Vans

Plan ahead! HTC Relay staff is available to answer any questions you may have regarding team vehicle, hotel, and flight reservations. E-mail office@htcrelay.com with questions. As the Official Airline of the Hood To Coast/Portland To Coast Relays, Alaska Airlines is pleased to provide discounted travel for participants. Registered participants will receive an e-mail with the 10% travel discount information and booking link in their acceptance e-mail for the 2017 Relay!

Teams are encouraged to make a sign for each of their vehicles that reads: “CAUTION: RUNNER ON ROAD” to place in the rear of the vans. Vans may not follow behind their runner.

Required Team Safety Equipment Each team MUST have the following items in their van and present them for inspection at the Start Check-In Tent. - One signed copy of Safety Agreement - Two reflective vests - Two LED flashers - Two flashlights or (2) hats with headlights * While it is highly recommended to have a First Aid Kit in your van, this is not a required item at Check-In.

Each team is limited to two vehicles, preferably a passenger van or SUV. All passengers must wear seat belts when in the vehicle. No vehicles wider than 80” or longer than 23’-0”. No motor homes, buses or limousines will be permitted. Failure to abide by this rule will result in disqualification. Each team will be issued four signs, two are purple and two are white. On Van 1 place white signs on the front and rear driver side windows. On Van 2 place a purple on the back and front passenger side corner of windows. The purple sign is required to access legs #19-23 and #32-36. Refrain from the use of foul or overly suggestive language for decorations. Have fun, but please use good judgment. To be as respectful as possible to the communities we pass through, race organizers prohibit music from being played outside the team vehicle on loud speakers!

Volunteers Teams with at least one member residing within a 100 mile radius of Portland are considered local and are required to provide three race volunteers. There is no buy-out option. Don’t bring children or dogs. Volunteers should be assertive and plan to work. Captains are responsible for ensuring that their volunteers each take (and pass) the mandatory online training, are at their appointed jobs, at the designated time, to fulfill the required tasks. Volunteers receive shirts on-site. Bring a flashlight and two LED flashers for night shift. If a volunteer cannot report, it is up to the team to find a replacement and make sure they report to their specific job site.

Only audio devices worn OUTSIDE OF THE EAR are allowed while running! 8

HIGH SCHOOL CHALLENGE Finish The Finish Line is located on the beach, north of the turnaround of Broadway Avenue in Seaside, Oregon. Traffic and parking are very congested in Seaside; use of the free parking shuttle is highly encouraged! (Map included on page 66) Finishing as a Team: Team members often run across the Finish Line alongside their anchor runner officially completing the race. If your team chooses to do so, make sure your official Leg 36 (anchor) runner leads your team to the Finish Line. They will be wearing a bib with a timing chip and will be credited with your team’s official finish. Teams awaiting their anchor runner will follow signs to the Team Staging Area. Write your team number on the form at the Team Staging Area and hand it to a volunteer. Queue in the appropriate chute number as directed. Teams will be announced in the order their forms are received. Your team number will be called only one time, so please have all of your teammates ready to go! Updated Finish Results: Team results will be updated as often as possible throughout Saturday. Final results will be posted online at www.hoodtocoast.com/results. In the event you have questions or concerns regarding your finish time, please file a report prior to 8:30pm on Saturday to the designated Race Information Tent.

Be specific and detailed. You must identify the offending team by number. The Rules & Penalties Committee will evaluate all incidents; their decisions are final. To enforce a penalty, infractions must be reported by two or more teams. This system has resulted in disqualifications.

RunNing Legs All teams are to run their members in rotating legs and in the same sequence of rotation throughout the race. Runner on Leg 13 would thus run Legs 13 and 25. When determining who will run each leg, (besides distance and leg rating), Captains should consider the following:

If a runner drops out due to injury or illness during a leg and isn’t able to run to the next exchange, the next runner in rotation may take the wrist wrap and continue to the end of that leg. The next leg must be run by the next runner in rotation.

In the upcoming book Hood To Coast Memories, An Oral History of the Mother of All Relays, participants, volunteers, spectators, organizers, celebrities, support team members and others will share short personal stories, remembrances, and recollections of the event in their own words. We’re now compiling your standout memories and best personal stories from Hood To Coast. Submit your memory at www.hoodtocoastmemories.com

TEAM EFFORT “…two miles down the road I see our van and rounding a corner I hear ‘400 meters Dutko. He is only ahead by 400 meters.’ As I close in on my very first road kill – a term not invented yet – I totally comprehend what the magic of this race will be in the future! For the first time in many years of road racing, I am no longer a solo runner grinding out the last 10K of a marathon or the last mile of a 10K! Not today. Today I am part of a 10 cylinder, high performance engine…” Larry Dutko, who has run in every Hood To Coast, recalling the first event 22

HTC17 HTC17

STORM TROOPERS “…There the three of us were, about six miles from the Hood To Coast finish line, running directly into a 70 mph gust – and howling defiantly at the weather gremlins that were trying to torment us. In the pouring rain, numb from our windy beating, our pain had given way to determined solidarity and a total disregard for the tempest that surrounded us. Nothing was going to stop us from finishing. My good friend/teammate and I were escorting his daughter as she neared the finish of her seven-mile running leg...” Tim Dooley, describing the storm that occurred during Hood To Coast in 2015

ast memories

To capture the character, appeal, and personality of the relay race that begins at Mt. Hood and travels 199 miles to Seaside, authors Marc B. Spiegel and Art Garner are compiling memories from Hood To Coast, whether it’s from the race itself or from organizing, training, planning, or other activities surrounding the event. Memories may highlight anything from annual traditions, to family members teaming up, to weddings (and proposals), to the origin of team names – as well everything in between.

POWERING THROUGH “…when those demons get in your mind and start telling you to back off because you don’t have it today, in Hood To Coast, there are 11 louder voices going, ‘Come on, Bob! You can do it! Dig down deep!’ They pull you through these levels of pain that you would never put yourself through...” Bob Foote, Founder & Chairman, Hood To Coast

RUNNING PARTNERS, FOR LIFE “…I crossed the censor and ran down the chute. The announcer called ‘Team 410’ and the beach erupted in applause. I thought all the applause was fantastic, since I’d never run the anchor leg before. But, I then quickly realized what was happening. My now husband got down on one knee and proposed in front of everyone. Of course I said, ‘Yes.’ I knew that if he could love me in all the glory that comes with participating in a 30-hour, 200-mile relay race at the end of August – he’d be the one to spend my life with forever…” Leslie Dewar, remembering the finish of the 2001 Hood To Coast

safety

Emergency Procedure In an emergency, call 911 and locate the Exchange Leader or Radio Operator at the nearest Exchange. Medical care and first aid safety is the responsibility of each team and participant. Each team needs to be prepared to care for the common medical needs of their runner, and should 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 all exchange zones along the race course. Ham operators’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. Report this information to radio operators at the next Exchange. They are capable of calling in full emergency medical, police, and fire response. 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 6:00pm through 7:00am (through 9:00am 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. Acceptable reflectivity must be present on the front and back of the participant during the hours listed above. 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. We do not specify what kind of flashing light, as long as it is LED. Runners must understand there are NOT any police promised to protect them from vehicle traffic along the course. Great care must be exercised at all times by racers and team vehicles. Racers proceed on the right side of the road for the majority of legs and must obey all traffic laws. At several exchanges, HTC hires professional traffic flaggers; obey their signals.

Hydration & First Aid There are not First Aid Stations on the course (except water stations now on all Legs over 6 miles - Legs 2, 4, 5, 6, 12, 14, 15, 17, 22, 27, 33, 35). 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).

Giving On Course Aid/Support 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 road! Team vehicles MUST safely cross over to the other side of the road to the location of the runner, park, and then commence support.

driver guide

Driving the course requires just as much planning as running the race. Follow the instructions included in the Driver Guide to navigate 199 miles with 2,000 other vans in a 36-hour time period.

Drive Course Before The Race Take note of where all turns are located. Identify exchange zones and other areas prone to traffic congestion. Identify areas where parking is limited and plan accordingly. Take note of potential stop areas where the van can provide runner support. Know the locations of food and restrooms. 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) and Exch 23 (Nehalem Hwy N, Vernonia) Map shown in handbook (pg 45). Between Exch 31 (Olney Grange) and HWY 101 in Seaside (Leg 36). Map shown in handbook (pg 58).

Free Towing & Lock-Out Assistance As a service to participants, we’ve contracted with Allbright Towing for roadside & lock -out services from Portland to Seaside. They can be reached at (503) 410-9169 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 all parking signage and parking instructions issued by race officials. Exchanges are marked with yellow paint on paved roads and pink flagging along gravel roads.

COMMITMENT TO PORTLAND TO COAST TRAFFIC SAFETY To keep the roads safe for all 17,400 participants, team vehicles and community residents, we annually partner with law enforcement to create a ‘Safety Agreement’ that all teams must follow. It is a mandatory condition of participation 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 YOUR TEAM SIGNED SAFETY AGREEMENT WILL RESULT IN BEING PROHIBITED FROM STARTING THE RACE. 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 The Hood To Coast Relay is conducted on open roads and is open to all traffic (unless specifically stated by Race Organizers). All teams agree to abide by the following regulations: • 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. (HTC is exempt from any responsibility or liability for illegal acts, and will report illegal acts if witnessed). • Team vehicles shall not pull off to side of road on Leg 1 or Leg 2. • 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 completely 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 rest rooms 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 12-13). Failure to adhere to this agreement could result in my team's disqualification. SIGNATURE or TEAM #: ________________________________________
