Hood to Coast Relay is this weekend

[Lamplighter]

The legs vary in length from 3.52 miles to 7.79 miles, and the terrain for each leg can vary from level terrain to steep uphills and/or downhills.

I think that most runners find the legs fairly easy to complete. There are some runners among the teams who are couch-taters, and get out for this event only. I think they just set up their team with some good runners who can handle the more difficult legs.
