American Odyssey Relay Race
The American Odyssey Relay is a 202-mile journey to be completed by well over 1,000 runners who participate on teams of six (ultra) or 12 (regular). Each of the 12 runners complete their legs (36 legs total) ranging between about 3.5 and 8 miles. From start to finish, however – despite the possible bit of snow here and there – runners and spectators will be treated to scenic and historic scenes from start (the Civil War battlefields of Gettysburg) to finish (near the Jefferson Memorial). In between, harriers will conquer Michaux State Forest, Antietam Battlefield and the C and O Canal towpath, among many other well-known sites.

Boonsboro High School is an oasis stop and will be providing food and sleeping areas for runners in this historic event. We will need all the volunteers we can get from around 9pm on April 27th until 3am on April 28th. If you're a night owl, come out and help us support these athletes - we can certainly use your help!!!
