Beginning at Lake Isabella on the Hood Canal, the relay will end right on the Pacific shores of Seabrook. As you approach Seabrook, you’ll witness gorgeous ocean views beckoning you to the finish line.
Runners are broken up into teams of four to six, with a total limit of 450 teams, who will work together to complete this 12-leg relay.
