Below is the information that you need to know to register for the 8th Annual Reno-Tahoe Odyssey Relay Run Adventure set for June 1-2, 2012.
Registration prices
The earlier you sign up, the less you have to pay to run and play in the Reno-Tahoe Odyssey, and you may score some extra swag too! But note there is a cap on the number of teams so only 225 teams will be allowed in the event.
Thru October 31, 2011:
$1200 per team ($100 per runner on a team on 12)

$1320 per team ($110 per runner on a team of 12)
From March 1, 2012:
$1440 per team ($120 per runner on a team of 12)
NOTE: if you register on line through Active, Active charges an extra fee.
What everyone gets for signing up:
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 race bag with goodies and of course a finisher's medal. In addition, every runner will get the opportunity to participate in a first class long distance relay event over a 178 mile spectacular course passing through two states and 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 music and an awards ceremony, 35 exchange points, many spirited and informed volunteers, plenty of directional signs, safety signs, light plants, and highway patrolmen for your safety, and hundreds of other enthusiastic runners with creative team names and shirts shuttling about in decorated vans to share the experience with you and add to your memories.
Early registration swag:
The first 25 paid teams to sign up will receive the official Reno-Tahoe Odyssey running hat. This will be a newly designed hat unlike the one we provided years ago. We'll post a photo of the new look as soon as it is available.
Captain's swag:
Each captain will get an RTO beer glass. In addition, the captain will receive a complementary beer at the Finish Line Festival. One captain per team.
Cap on number of teams:
Two hundred twenty-five (225). This is another reason to sign up early to make sure your team gets into the event.
Two ways to register:
1) On line through Active.com. Click here to connect to Active.com.
2) By mail. Click here to get the registration mail in form. Please complete it carefully and legibly so we can read it. Write a check to People Burning Fat Productions and mail or deliver it and the completed registration form to the RTO offices in downtown Reno at 331 E. Liberty Street, Reno, Nevada 89501.
Registration requirements:
At the time each team signs up, the team captain must provide the following information to be considered a registered team.
For each runner:
Name
Gender
DOB
City of residence
Email address
Tech shirt size (mens and womens sizes)
10K time
Number of years in the Reno-Tahoe Odyssey
For each team:
Name
Division
Estimated total time to complete the course
To increase the likelihood that you will get the right size of your Race Shirt:
Please note that only runners who are registered as of March 31, 2012 are guaranteed a race shirt in the right size. After that we will try to provide each runner with a shirt that is the right size but we cannot guarantee it. This is another reason to sign up and get us all of your information early.
Volunteer requirement for local teams
Each team that has at least 9 runners residing within 30 miles of a point along the course needs to provide 3 volunteers.
There is an on line sign up process for volunteers. Volunteers need to use that system to sign up for their assignment. We'll turn on the program by February 1, 2012. In the meantime, if your volunteers are interested in a particular exchange point or other assignment, please email Shelly at shelly@renotahoeodyssey.com.
Please have your volunteers register through the on line process by April 15, 2012.
Teams who do not contribute volunteers will be required to pay $125 per team. By April 15, 2012. We will use those monies to obtain volunteers if necessary, to spoil the volunteers who help us put on the event, and to make additional contributions to charities.
Be prepared for a grand adventure. Bring your best attitude. And have a blast.
