While the vast majority of teams for Hood to Coast and Portland to Coast are from the Pacific Northwest, teams came from around the world. This running team from Australia shows team spirit with an inflatable kangaroo, flags, and other fun costuming. They are awaiting their final runner coming down the chute, and they will all run in together. In 2008, there were several teams from the Netherlands, as well as teams from Brazil, Mexico, and other countries.
