The Race

What time will the race start on May 14?

The Race will begin at 1pm. We ask teams to check-in 30 minutes before hand to ensure they have the latest information, rules, and answers to any questions they may have. The location will be announced to registered Teams in advance of the Race.

Do I have to run if I'm in the race?

No. You may want to (it IS a Race, after all!) but you don't have to. There are no rules regarding transportation. You may walk, run, ride bikes, cab, or carpool.

Where will we be racing?

Race location is being finalized but selected location will be limited in area to allow teams to walk from stop to stop.

I'm not a math whiz. How hard will the problems be?

Each stop will have a variety of problems or puzzles ranging from simple to challenging. The more challenging the math problem your team solves, the greater the advantage during the physical challenge. Your Team should aim to balance brains AND brawn. :D

How many people on a team?

We suggest 4-5 people but teams may consist of any number of members. Keep in mind a team that is too small will leave you less options for challenges and a team that is too big may be difficult to coral and all members must be a stop before your team may start.

How much does it cost to participate?

The cost is $25 / person.

What age restrictions are there?

There is no minimum age requirement, however, teams with any member under the age of 16 years of age must have at least 1 responsible adult over the age of 21.

Anything else we should know?

Yes, there will be a Best Costumed team award. You are not required to wear a costume but we want to acknowledge those teams that go above and beyond, and encourage themes! ;)

What does the winner win?

The wining team will receive a trophy. Other prize/prizes TBD.
