Listen "This 216-mile race through central Oregon is one wild trip"
Episode Synopsis
Even if you consider yourself a runner, you probably aren’t prepared for a run quite like this.
On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest, we dive into the Cascade Lakes Relay, a 216-mile race across the landscape of central Oregon that can get a little wilder and weirder than your average footrace.
Similar to Oregon’s famed Hood to Coast Relay, the Cascade Lakes Relay involves teams of runners who collectively tackle the length of the course over the course of two days. That means late-night shifts, spartan sleeping conditions and lots of wackiness along the way.
Jamie Goldberg, politics and education editor for The Oregonian/Oregonlive, joined the podcast to talk about her recent experience running the relay.
Here are some highlights from this week’s show:
How Goldberg survived a dusty midnight run through the mountains.
Rain and snow made the summertime event a little chillier than expected.
A pop-up rave and one double-decker party bus kept things lively during the race.
Team culture is a major part of relay races, even if the runs are all solo.
