1. How does it work?
Teams of 4 will race around Cambridge from checkpoint to checkpoint and the team that completes the course in the least amount of time wins the prize for the fastest team. Prior to the race, each team will receive a race package that will advise them of the starting point. On the day of the race, teams will be given a clue that will direct them where to go to reach the first checkpoint. At the checkpoint, you will complete a challenge or search for an answer to a question. Once you have the correct answer, it is submitted to the checkpoint attendants. If the answer is correct, you will be given the clue for the next checkpoint.
2. How do I get around? !!!
You can run or walk the course as fast or as slow as you like and at some points you may need to use public transit. The course is designed to take you to different parts of Cambridge that you may or may not be familiar with. Personal cars and taxis may not be used.
3. How do I sign up?
Contact us to have a registration form emailed to you (julg60@yahoo.com). Then complete the registration form and drop it off at Cambridge Travel located at 1425 Bishop St., Cambridge, or email it to us at julg60@yahoo.com . Please include all of your team’s information on the form. The maximum number of teams that will be accepted is 20 – so early registration is recommended to avoid disappointment!
4. What if I don’t have a team of 4?
If you don't have a team of four we will try to include you with any other partial teams that express interest but in order to participate it must be a team of four.
5. What else is there?
After you finish the race, we'll meet at the final checkpoint to recuperate with refreshments and a BBQ, to exchange stories of what happened while racing, and to hand out prizes. Prizes will be given to the race winners and to the team that raised the highest donation amount.
It'll be a great, fun day of exploring, discovering, and seeing Cambridge in a new way, even for anyone native to Cambridge.
