Embark on a unique team running adventure with the Comstock Odyssey Relay, taking place on May 30, 2026, and covering approximately 30 miles from the historic heart of Virginia City to Reno, Nevada. This exhilarating relay offers a taste of the renowned Reno-Tahoe Odyssey experience, traversing the final six legs (Leg 31-36) of the longer course. The race kicks off on C Street in Virginia City, nestled between the iconic Bucket of Blood Saloon and Delta Saloon, plunging runners into the rich history of the Comstock Lode mining boom.

As your team navigates this road course, expect breathtaking scenery that includes views of the Sierra Nevada peaks, historic pathways like the Toll Road, and potentially glimpses of wild horses. While the course promises stunning vistas and a memorable journey, runners should be prepared for varied terrain, including climbs into Virginia City and descents with views of Mount Rose. Typical race day conditions in late May offer pleasant running weather, with highs around 76F and lows near 49F, and a minimal 3% chance of precipitation. Teams are self-supported, so plan to carry your own hydration and nutrition as there are no aid stations provided along the course.

The Comstock Odyssey Relay culminates in a vibrant Finish Line Festival in Reno, where your team will cross the finish alongside other Odyssey relay participants. Here, runners are celebrated with unique finisher's medals, a quality technical race shirt, a race bag, and a complimentary beer, all set to the backdrop of music and enthusiastic vendors. This event is celebrated for its incredible camaraderie, the shared accomplishment of tackling a challenging yet rewarding course, and the festive atmosphere at the exchange points. Whether you're a team of two, three, or up to six runners, the Comstock Odyssey Relay provides an unforgettable blend of historical exploration and athletic achievement.
