Eastside Distilling, Inc. said it is the exclusive distilled and craft spirits partner for the 2022 Providence Cancer Institute Hood To Coast and Portland To Coast Relays. The 40th annual Hood To Coast, presented by Nike, will begin on August 26, 2022 and end on August 27, 2022.
In addition to the main relay events in August, Eastside Distilling will have a presence at all Hood To Coast Race Series events throughout the year, which includes the following one-day relays and road races: Leprechaun Dash (March 19), Cape Lookout Relay (April 30), Seabrook Relay (June 4), Windy River Relay (July 23), High Desert Relay (October 1), and Turkey Trot (November 23).
Near the finish line in Seaside, Oregon, relay participants can enjoy tastings of the distillery’s Portland Potato Vodka, made with pure water sourced from Mt. Hood, at the Eastside Bar inside the Spirits Garden. Specialty cocktails made with Portland Potato Vodka will also be offered at local bars and restaurants along the race routes.
