Roseburg to Coos Bay Relay

A team with members from the Coquille Valley and North Bend won the annual 68-mile relay race from Roseburg to Coos Bay in April.

The group included Lawrence Cheal of North Bend, John Gunther of Coquille and Myrtle Point-area residents Karl Smith, Jack Isenhart and Damian Lilienthal. The team, called Start Slow and Taper: The Gang’s Back Together Edition, finished the course in 8 hours, 49 minutes and 59 seconds.

In all, 26 teams completed the 68-mile race. The spirit award, voted on by the teams, went to a squad called Unbridled Spirit. The Director’s Award, for the team finishing closest to its predicted time, went to RunN4Fun, which was less than two minutes from its predicted time.

The event is a fundraiser for Camp Millennium, a summer camp for children living with cancer.
