Rank Strangers eye another Hood To Coast appearance

(2-Nov-2018) Eric was notified we were not selected for 2019.

Dear 2019 Hood To Coast Applicant,

Thank you for submitting a team entry in the 38th annual Providence Hood To Coast Relay. Your team's application was one of over 3,800 postmarked on "Opening Day" of registration. Unfortunately, your team was not one of the 1,050 teams drawn for the 2019 Relay. Hood To Coast has filled the team limit for the past 28 years.

RAISE YOUR CHANCES FOR NEXT YEAR'S SELECTION WITH THE 2019 DECLINED TEAM SELECTION

Because your registration was declined for the 2019 Hood To Coast Relay, you will have the opportunity to have your team entered into a special selection process for 2020. This does not guarantee a spot, but will increase your chances substantially....

--------------------------------------------------------

Rank Strangers is going back to Oregon. Our first chance for an encore for our 2015 appearance in the 2019 edition of Hood to Coast, "THE MOTHER OF ALL RELAYS," in August, 2019. It is down to the annual lottery: the Hood To Coast Relay has filled its team limit for the last 28 years, and on “Opening Day” for the last 21 years! Registration will take place October 3, 2018 (entry forms postmarked on this date only, not before).

Hood To Coast has filled its team limit on Opening Day for 28 straight years!

The 38th annual HTC will accept 1,050 teams.

Eric will submit the entry form for Rank Strangers. Acceptance and decline email confirmations are sent October through November.

Our 2015 entry was a third time attempt; teams that were previously declined are entered in a special lottery.

Other facts:

HTC teams must be able to complete the course within the 32.5 hour time limit (total average of 9:45 minute per mile or faster).
Each team with one or more members within 100 mile radius of the course, must provide three (3) volunteers for event weekend.
Once confirmed, all teams and fees are non-refundable, non-transferable.
Team Registration Fee: $1770
