The Reno-Tahoe Odyssey Relay Run Adventure is UPGRADING its website by launching an

ON LINE SOCIAL COMMUNITY for RUNNERS !

In an ongoing effort to improve our event and our website, the Reno-Tahoe Odyssey has partnered with realbuzz.com to offer our runners a new level of interaction on line.  Realbuzz.com is the UK's most popular lifestyle and community on line networking site aimed at individuals interested in fitness and nutrition, and, especially, running. Realbuzz.com has "jumped the pond" and launched realbuzz.com here in the United States.

Our partnership with realbuzz.com provides a host of cool web tools that will increase your ability to share your passion on line for the Reno-Tahoe Odyssey and the other Odyssey relay runs and for running in general:

 

FORUM - The forum provides an on line community for sharing information about the RTO. It also will be the way that individuals post their names and information to find a team (or create their own), and for teams to find a runner to fill out their rosters.

BLOG - We have created one blog for all of the Odyssey relay runs.

Realbuzz.com's blogs are as good as blogs you find elsewhere, but they are better because they are designed for runners! Sure, you can share your own personal story, photos, communicate among friends you make on line, etc. But our realbuzz.com enhanced blogs also allow you to personalize your blog to a specific running event and goal. You can document your runs on our integrated workout log which is built right into your running blog.  The workout log allows you to record the length and duration of your runs as well as other pertinent information such as weather, terrain, weight, etc. in an easy-to-use, easy-to-read format.

 ROUTE PLANNER - Use this tool to plan out -- and measure -- your next run from the comfort of your chair (and then print it out and stick it in your pocket for your run) with our GPS based interactive maps.  You can also save your runs for future reference. As runners save their runs, they can also search out other runs based on zips codes and cities.  You can find running routes when you travel, or when you are checking out a new area. The route planner is yet another way to be an on line community, and, like the other realbuzz.com tools, is based on your passion of running.

We are happy to bring you these running based social networking web enhancements that help you connect with other runners. So go to www.renotahoeodyssey.com and start using these tools today. Then check back often and create an on line community through the website for the Reno-Tahoe Odyssey!
