FOOT BLISTERS—It starts at Mount Hood and it stops 197 miles later, on the beach. It’s Hood to Coast, and it’s the world’s largest relay race. Tonight’s the official premiere of an eponymous documentary that follows four teams of 12 all trying to do the almost unthinkable. DCT

MODERN MUSIC FROM SAN FRANCISCO—The brilliant jazz compositions of Vince Guaraldi are already buried in your subconscious—dude scored no less than 16 Peanuts cartoons. But even without Charlie Brown, Guaraldi’s a hell of a figure, thanks to albums like Alma-Ville and Jazz Impressions of Black Orpheus. Tonight, the Northwest Film Center’s Reel Music Festival screens the documentary The Anatomy of Vince Guaraldi, followed by a live performance by the Vince Guaraldi Tribute Band. EH
