Welcome to Blanchet House’s Hood to Coast Running Team

Our runners are hitting the road for dignity, hope, and community!

Blanchet House is proud to participate in Hood to Coast to raise support for our neighbors experiencing homelessness and addiction. Every mile run and every dollar donated helps fund critical programs like our free café in Old Town, recovery services at Blanchet Farm, and Bethanie’s Room, our women’s shelter.

Why Do We Run? As part of our mission to offer pathways to addiction recovery and stability, we believe group running promotes wellness, healthy recreation, and a supportive community for people rebuilding their lives.

Running to Support Recovery and Hope

Team Blanchet is hitting the road for the Hood To Coast relay race this year! Our new Executive Director, Steve Cook, shares why we’re taking on the nearly 200-mile relay and what it means for our community in his latest blog post. Many of our runners are raising money for their race, and you can support their individual campaigns.

Why I Sponsor a Hood to Coast Team

For Lucia Keefe, realtor and owner of Root to Bloom (More Realty), the choice to sponsor Blanchet House’s Hood to Coast team is deeply personal. To her, becoming a runner wasn’t just about working out—it was the catalyst for her recovery. 

“Just one mile felt impossible, kind of similar to not drinking just for a day,” she said.
