Make this the year you put together your team for this epic 178-mile relay run that takes you to some of the most scenic areas in the country.

Guided by the high mountain peaks of the Sierra Nevada. Running by mountain lakes, rivers, and streams, including the one and only Lake Tahoe and, of course, the Truckee River. Running under the stars and past the neon of South Lake Tahoe’s casinos. Descending Kingsbury Grade looking down on the lights of the Carson Valley. Climbing the Comstock Highway into Virginia City, then dropping down Geiger Grade with an eyeful of Mount Rose. The scenery. The vistas. The blue waters and skies. The bright stars. The neon lights.

A relay team comprises 12 runners, but some dare to do it with 6. Rather do something shorter? Check out the Capital Odyssey or Comstock Odyssey Relays which join the RTO in progress.
