American Odyssey Relay 2012 Video Released

Newly released, the American Odyssey Relay video for 2012 produced and shot by Pawpro Media.  Don’t miss the most spirited team paying homage to comedian Will Ferrell by way of vintage 70’s athletic swag and exhibitionism with a penchant for public nudity.  All in a day’s work, I say!  It’s always great to work for race director, Bob Fleshner on this great event.

And speaking of events, seven days to go before Pawpro takes off for the start of Hopecam’s Race Across America.  We’ll be following Hopecam’s cyclist as he makes his way across the U.S. in 12 days in this infamous and awe inspiring event.  Follow our progress in real time on Facebook and Tumblr.  It starts June 13, 2012.

American Odyssey Relay Video

What a fun project this has been for me.  Experience The American Odyssey Relay, a thirty-six hour, 200 mile relay race including exhausted runners, smelly vans, comical and authentic moments, but most of all, tons of fun along the way.  Teams run day and night through some of the most historic and scenic countryside in PA, MD, WV, VA and DC.

A second video highlighting team t-shirts, van decorations, a.k.a VanGos, and general good-natured, craziness will be released very, very soon.

Pawpro to Cover American Odyssey Relay III

Pawpro received the call of running relay organizer Bob Fleshner to shoot the third annual running of The American Odyssey Relay, a 200 plus mile foot race from Gettysburg, PA to Washington, DC. This will be 36 non-stop, exhausting hours of movement for the runners and teams, as well as Pawpro’s video crews. The race begins April 29 and ends on April 30. americanodysseyrelay.com

This race traverses some of the region’s most beautiful and historic landscapes including the battlefields of Gettysburg and Antietam, two covered bridges, Harpers Ferry National Park, the spring foliage emerging along the C&O Canal, Georgetown, and culminates in the Nation’s Capital alongside the monuments and the Potomac River.

Runners will face many challenges including one ear-popping leg called Andrea’s Ascent with a six-mile, 1171 ft. ascent. Former DC Mayor Adrian Fenty participated in 2009 and 2010. So far, there are 126 teams registered, and there’s still time to sign-up.

Pawpro will produce a series of marketing and informational videos with inspirational stories and images from the race. Good luck racers, and bottoms-up energy drinks for the videographers!
