ALPENA — Alpena native Kevin Konczak just keeps winning, and this time, it was a team effort. Konczak, who lives in Colorado, traveled with a team of athletes to the Hood to Coast Relay, also known as “The Mother of All Relays,” and returned with a super masters division win for a fine performance, despite scorching heat.

The Hood to Coast Relay is “the most popular and largest running and walking relay race in the world, annually drawing participants from over 40 countries and all 50 states,” according to the event website. “Known as the Mother of All Relays, the event takes 8 to 12 member relay teams 196 miles or 128 miles (from Portland) from the iconic top of Mount Hood to the beaches of the Pacific Ocean.”

This year’s event took place on Aug. 22 to 23.
