Hood to Coast Relay Movie - One Night Only: Tuesday, January 11, 2011

=======================================================

Thank-you to Laurel Park, Hood to Coast support team veteran, for alerting us to the Hood to Coast

Relay movie:

""HOOD TO COAST follows four unlikely teams on their epic journey to conquer the world's largest

relay race. The film captures the love, dedication, and insanity of the every day runner as well as the

excitement, pain, and humor of the unprepared first timer. Their stories are reminders that no matter

who you are, you can push yourself beyond where you thought your limits were.""
