Entry Fee and What You Get

The entry fee is $1,080 ($90 per runner on a team of 12)(same as in 2008).

Every runner receives a technical shirt (mens and womens sizes so please give us the correct mens or womens size when you sign up) and a finisher's medal and a race bag with goodies.

In addition, every runner will get the opportunity to participate in a first class long distance relay event over a 178 mile spectacular course touring the Reno-Lake Tahoe region, filled with cool places and sights to see, with a lively start ceremony with music and introductions, a Finish Line Festival with delicious food and cold brews for sale and live music and an awards ceremony, 35 exchange points, lots of spirited and informed volunteers, directional signs, safety signs, light plants, highway patrolmen, and many other enthusiastic runners with creative team names and shirts traveling in decorated vans to share the experience with you and add to your memories.

There will be a pre-race event the Thursday night before the relay. Details to be announced. So plan to get to Reno by dinner time Thursday night.

Registration Deadline

We will close registration on May 1, 2009.

Limit on Number of Teams

We will limit the number of teams to 175. So please register early to reserve your team's spot.

Early Registration Deadlines

December 31, 2008 is the first early deadline. If your team signs up by that date, each member of the team also will receive an official Reno-Tahoe Odyssey travel coffee mug.

February 28, 2009 is the second early deadline. If your team signs up by that date, each team member will receive an official Reno-Tahoe Odyssey eco-friendly water bottle (not one of the plastic ones everyone has dozens of).

Team Captains

The captain's job can be a thankless role. They usually do lots of extra work. And they do not get anything in return.

We wanted to show a little appreciation for the effort. Each team captain will receive a special collector's item Reno-Tahoe Odyssey Team Captain pint glass. And a coupon for a free beer at the Finish Line Festival. Just a little thank you for your pivotal role in the relay.
