Three Capes Marathon Relay: The race with a view Feb. 25th

Gather your family, friends, and coworkers to form a team for the Three Capes Marathon Relay.

This marathon relay race “with a view” will be hosted Feb. 25, 2023 in Tillamook County.

The 26.2 mile course is a special race because it features the Three Capes Scenic Loop, starting at Cape Meares Lake, passing Cape Lookout, and finishing at Cape Kiwanda in Pacific City.

The rugged course passes through or runs adjacent to six state parks, two National Wildlife Refuges, multiple Tillamook County Parks, and boasts stunning vantage points of the Tillamook Bay, Netarts Bay, and the Pacific Ocean.
