Race & Course Info

Southern Odyssey Relay Run Adventure

Relay Handbooks will be posted in Sept. Team captains will have ample time to review the handbook and disseminate all information to his/her team.

Start Time Specifics

Team starting times will not be announced until registration is officially closed.

For a general idea, calculate the average per mile pace of your team based upon each participant's 10k time. Compare those results with this chart.

Keep in mind, start times are assigned to enable a smooth flow of teams across the entire relay route and to make certain we have volunteers in all transitions. It's really important that you provide an accurate predicted pace to avoid the necessity of us holding you at a transition.
