Get ready for another installment of the American Odyssey Relay (AOR) this April, as teams of 12 runners cover 200 miles from Gettysburg, PA to Washington, DC...as fast as they can!
There are more and more races and events being built into the running calendar that offer runners a unique experience, and no doubt a memorable experience. Piling into a van with your teammates and covering some spectacular terrain and sites offers nothing short of a great weekend.
Elyse Braner, a well-known local DC runner, offered her perspective on the AOR event:
"This is my 3rd year competing in the American Odyssey Relay, the previous two times we had a team that was looking for something different...something fun for running. It's a social event. This relay differs from other relay-type events in that it is more personalized in many ways, perhaps because it's a smaller race. This is great because there are less rules to deal with, less stress of race logistics, but it's still definitely a spirited race! The volunteers add to the spirit of the AOR and make it a fun event. Once you also factor in the unique course over historical battlefields and an awesome party at the finish, our team is definitely going back again!"
