The course starts in the Cascade Mountains at Diamond Lake Resort, travels through the Oregon Outback and rural agricultural country, and winds back to the Cascade Lakes Highway, around Mt. Bachelor and into the resort community of Bend. If you are looking for the Pacific Northwest's most challenging and beautiful course - welcome to the Cascade Lakes Relay! You'll see more cows than semi-trucks and smell pine trees instead of exhaust. If you are seeking a challenging course where you can rediscover your senses, then this is the event for you and your team.
