The Hood to Coast Relay is an overnight, long-distance relay race held in the state of Oregon and one of the longest major relays in North America. The course runs 200 miles from Timberline Lodge on the slopes of Mount Hood, the tallest peak in Oregon, through the Portland metropolitan area, and over the Oregon Coast Range to the beach town of Seaside on the Oregon Coast. The 200 mile Hood to Coast course consists of 36 legs; each team member runs three in rotation. The legs vary in length from 3.5 miles to 7.8 miles and in terrain ranging from virtually flat to steep hills.

Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of male cancer death, killing a man every 18 minutes. Yet, there is hope: 99 percent survive when it's caught early. Proceeds raised by the TeamPC directly support ZERO — The Project to End Prostate Cancer and its mission to end prostate cancer through awareness, outreach, advocacy and research. ZERO operates the Drive Against Prostate Cancer—the only national mobile testing program for the disease. Since the Drive began in 2002, we have tested more than 110,000 men and saved an estimated 7,000 lives through early detection. ZERO has also worked to infuse more than $2 billion of new federal funding for prostate cancer research to find a cure.
