About the Race

Overview

This unique event brings together participants to compete in challenges, decipher clues, and find their way to the next pit stop in Vancouver and surrounding areas. After the race, participants will enjoy a complimentary, healthy barbeque dinner and official winner's ceremony. This event is going to "wow" participants and we know that it will show continued growth with an increase of people racing every year. We are going to put on a great event and raise much needed funds to support important programs and services offered right here in our community. Our goal is to raise enough funds for 10,000 meals!
