About this data. Distances, elevations and exchange points come from Relay Tracker's race pack for Cascade Lakes Relay (v4, August 2026), built from the public route; the profiles are drawn from the same grade data the app's pace model uses. Exchange pins are approximate. Terrain is a simple derived label: Downhill when descent is at least twice the climb and net drop ≥ 250 ft; otherwise Flat under 40 ft of climb per mile, Rolling under 100, Hilly under 200, Steep above. Runner and van numbers assume the standard 12-runner, two-van format.
