Embark on an unforgettable team adventure with the Roseburg to Coos Bay Relay on Saturday, April 25, 2026, starting in Roseburg, Oregon. This challenging 68-mile running relay invites five-person teams to conquer a truly scenic, point-to-point course. Expect typical race day conditions with pleasant highs around 67°F and lows near 44°F, and only an 8% chance of precipitation, providing ideal weather for tackling the varied terrain.
The course itself is renowned for its stunning beauty, winding along quiet country roads, rivers, and past majestic waterfalls and towering trees. Don't be fooled by the picturesque scenery; the route features "serious hills" and "tough legs," including significant elevation changes such as an 1100-foot climb in one 3.5-mile stretch, ensuring a demanding yet rewarding experience for runners. While primarily paved, some sections include gravel, adding to the dynamic nature of the course. Teams start in a staggered fashion from the Adapt parking lot in Roseburg, with slower teams setting off earlier, designed to bring all participants to the finish line around the same time.
What truly sets this event apart is its unsupported nature, emphasizing teamwork and self-sufficiency as teams are responsible for their own nutrition, hydration, and safety along the route, with limited to no cell service in many areas. The Roseburg to Coos Bay Relay is more than just a race; it's a celebration of camaraderie and personal achievement, with proceeds benefiting Camp Millennium, a charity dedicated to providing outdoor recreation for children with cancer. The grand finale awaits at the Coos Bay History Museum, where all participants are treated to a complimentary dinner and a refreshing local brew, culminating a day of spirited competition and breathtaking Oregon landscapes.
