The American Odyssey Relay is an 200-mile overnight relay, starting in Gettysburg, PA in the shadow of the Civil War battlefields and ending at the SW Waterfront in Washington, DC. This race is designed for teams of 12 runners, each of whom will run 3 legs. The American Odyssey Relay was put together by runners for runners and is quite possibly the most fun you’ll ever have running! Come on out and see for yourself!
