Registration prices
The earlier you sign up, the less you have to pay to run and play in the Southern Odyssey Relay, and you will score some extra swag too! But note there is a cap on the number of teams so only 150 teams will be allowed in the event.
Thru January 31, 2012:
$1,080 per team ($90 per runner on a team on 12). Plus every team member will receive early registration swag - see below.
Between February 1, 2012 and May 31, 2012:

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 spectacular course of about 190 to 200 miles. We are working on a newly designed course so stay tuned for details. This event will be filled with cool places and sights to see, with a lively start ceremony with music and introductions, a Finish Line Festival with good food and drink and music, 35 exchange points, many spirited and informed volunteers, plenty of directional signs, safety signs, light plants, and sheriffs 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:
For every team who registers by the January 31, 2012 early registration deadline, every team member will receive an official Southern Odyssey Relay beanie.
For every team who registers between February 1 and May 31, 2012, every team member will receive an official Southern Odyssey Relay water bottle.
We'll post a photo of the beanie and the water bottle as soon as we have finalized the designs. We plan to have some extra ones for sale.
Captain's swag:
We will be providing each captain with a special piece of Southern Odyssey Relay swag. We are still deciding what that will be. Maybe a very nice pilsner glass. Maybe a clothing item. Stay tuned for an announcement about this.
Cap on number of teams:
One hundred fifty (150). This is another reason to sign up early to make sure your team gets into the event.
Two ways to register:
- On line through Active.com
- 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 it and the completed registration form to 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 Southern Odyssey Relay
- 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 July 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 will be 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 May 1, 2012. In the meantime, if your volunteers are interested in a particular exchange point or other assignment, please email Mark at mark@southernodysseyrelay.com.
Please have your volunteers register through the on line process by September 1, 2012.
Teams who do not contribute volunteers will be required to pay $150 per team. By September 1, 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.
