Elyse's first run was at night.

Curtis Caldwell joined the team in time to run Leg 10.
This was his first Hood to Coast Relay too.

David and Mark. Mark was more excited to run than his expression suggests.

Mark was excited, really.

Hello Curtis. Nice job on Leg 10.

All hail Captain Chaos. Mark starts Leg 11.

Aaron practicing his moves for Leg 12.

No headphones this year. Okay, he tried a McGyver... it didn't really work.

Elyse, Curtis and David. It's only 11pm and we're doing well.
Everyone is more cheerful than this, really.

Mark's done. Aaron's off into the night.

Van 1 picked back up in Portland and ran through the night.

Early Saturday morning and finally there are some smiles. Come on, Curtis, smile.

Van 2 handed off to Van 1 for the final round. Going up the mountain on
Leg 29, we happened on a struggling team stuck in the gravel. Having already
eaten our fill for the day, we stopped to help.

During our efforts, Donner Party runner #5 from Van 1, Molly Johnston was running by.

Now there's a smile. Who smiles on Leg 29?
Way to go Molly!!!

Mark arrives and he's done.
A semi-quick exchange of flashing lights and flashlights
and Aaron is off on his (and the team's) final leg... #36.

This is the final run and Aaron has completed all 12 legs of HTC in order.
36 legs on 2 feet!
