When does a marketing team run 197 miles from a volcano to an ocean… when they’re not being chased… and when there are two mechanically sound vans shadowing them? When Babcock & Jenkins runs the Hood to Coast.
Last month a group of Babcock & Jenkins employees and friends ran 197 miles from Mt. Hood to Seaside for what is known as Hood to Coast, the largest running relay in the world! 1000 teams participate with 12 runners each. Each team member runs three legs and a total of 15-20 miles over a two day period. The pictures below highlight some parts of the experience that we managed to capture on film.
Here I am right before the start of the race showing off our sweet sweatshirts. The weather was perfect!

Please take note of the skier in full snow gear behind Sr. Copywriter RD Symms & Danelle Romain.
