They will follow clues and complete tasks and challenges to move forward in this race to the finish line. Transportation will be by foot and public transit. The entry “fee” to participate is a combined team amount of a minimum of $1,000 of raised funds. These funds can be raised by team members through donations solicited from businesses and/or individuals (family and friends). The team that raises the most amount of money will be awarded a fabulous prize.
The maximum number of teams that will be accepted is 20 – so early registration is recommended to avoid disappointment!
