Spokane to Sandpoint

Spokane to Sandpoint Runners,

On behalf of the entire Race Staff we would like to welcome you to what we believe is one of the most scenic, engaging, and adventurous Relay Races in the great Northwest.  In addition to breath-taking scenery and excellent running locations, we believe that this race will provide a real opportunity for team bonding!  We also believe that you’re going to enjoy your stop at Silverwood Theme Park and get a kick out of some of the fun contests along the way.  Simply put, we want this Race to be one of the greatest experiences that you’ve ever had whether you’re new to the sport of running or a seasoned veteran.  

In a nutshell, Spokane to Sandpoint is a 12-person 190-mile relay race that starts at the ski lodge atop Mt. Spokane Ski Resort and progresses through some of the best places to run in Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho until finishing at Lakeview Park in Sandpoint, Idaho.  Each runner will complete 3 legs varying in distances from 3-8 miles.  The majority of the legs (31 of the 36) are fairly flat with less than 100 feet net elevation difference.  After completing a leg, the wristband will be handed off to the next runner until all 12 runners have completed their first leg.  Then runner 1 will start the cycle for the team all over.  Each team is required to have 2 support vehicles (vans/suburban type) and must abide by all race rules and regulations.  We have two overarching goals: safety and fun.  Please be safe while on sections of the course that are open to motorized vehicles by obeying traffic safety laws.  On the fun side – have outrageous fun while encouraging your other teammates during their legs, while participating in some of the contests along the route, and while riding Tremors Roller Coaster (coaster is voluntary)! 

Volunteers will man all leg exchanges.  Please extend your thanks as you meet them along the course!  At all major exchanges (6,12,18,24,30,36) there will be race services available as well as ample space to lay out and stretch!  There are sections along the route where you can swim or wade into some cool refreshing lakes and rivers if you choose to.  Food and gas services are available at many of the towns you’ll race through.

Have a fantastic race!  We are sure that it will be both a challenging and rewarding experience for you and your team.   See you on the Course!

Sincerely,
