Welcome to our Blog!

Thank you for visiting our new blog. We are just getting started with the electronic networking and will be starting up a Facebook page as well. 


Who Are the Ultralords?
      We are a group of runners primarily based in Portland that will be running a unique Coast to Hood to Coast relay. Our team will be starting at Seaside on Thursday and running back to Mt. Hood tracing the relay route. When we arrive at Timberline we will turn around and complete the actual relay with all of the other teams. 


A Little History:
Our team is made up of a core group from The Standard Company that created the Ultralord team in 2007 as a group of 6 (a team is usually 12)  that ran the Hood to Coast Relay. Four members of that team dreamed up this unique challenge and managed to talk some fellow runners into joining them. 


An Extra Share of Giving Too!


In addition to the extra mileage, each member of the team has chosen an organization to sponsor. Our goal is to raise public awareness and hopefully some extra funding for these groups. You can learn more about each organization by clicking on the links listed in the upper right of this blog.
