about
This is a challenging event. The runners, each attempting this challenge as a fund raising effort for the charity of their choice (for more on this click the “how to sponsor” link), will depart on the morning of July 1st, and have all 31 days of this long summer month to cover the 830 mile jog between Oakland, CA and Portland, OR. The course winds along the forever undulating pacific coast highways for most of journey, splitting time being shaded under giant redwood trees and exposed along the weather beaten coastal roads that parallel the Pacific Ocean. Finally, the course veers east for the final ninety miles. This section will be the most mountainous, as Portland sits just on the far side of the coastal mountain range. The runners must cover roughly 26 miles (a marathon) each day on average to reach Portland by July 31st.
There is a support team which will carry all of the runners camping gear, first aid, food, water, etc.
