Event Details
So, you wanna roll with the big dogs? Well, we hope you did your
calisthenics this morning
because this won't be easy.
Cedar Valley Chase is a race where two-person teams compete in
challenges as they race from
location to location in the Cedar Valley. The first team to complete
their challenges and cross
the finish-line wins. But don't fret if you're not the esteemed
winner; there are still two
stellar prizes for second and third place, as well as great drawings
and raffles at
the after party.
But that's not all the good news: the proceeds from the race are
donated to the Cedar Valley
United Way. So, not only can you kick some serious butt in the race,
you can feel good that
your entry fee was donated to a strong community cause. Wow, are you
sure you're not an Eagle
Scout or something?
Entry fee is only $50 per team and includes awesome T-shirts, chow at
the after party and entry into
the super-cool drawings, as long as you're registered by October 1st. If you want to sign up late
(naughty, naughty), you'll have to pay $60, and we can't guarantee
you'll get one of the kickin' shirts.
Check-in begins at 11:15 a.m. in the atrium of the Gallagher-Bluedorn
Performing Arts Center.
Every team of two must check in together before the race begins at
noon. At check-in, racers receive Cedar Valley Chase T-shirts, a map
with a list of the challenge
locations and a passport, which must be validated at the challenges
by a judge in order to confirm
completion of the challenge. Once checked in, racers are not allowed
to leave the premises until
the noon start time.
At the start, racers will head to any of the challenge locations
where there are tasks waiting to
be completed. At each challenge, there will be judges that run each
station. They will instruct you,
make sure you don't cheat, witness your completion of the challenge
and verify your success in your
passport.
Racers must complete a required number of challenges, have proper
validation from the judges and
return to the finish line in order to win. Forged passport validation
or failure to follow the rules
will result in the immediate disqualification of your team.
Grand prizes are awarded to the top three teams. All other teams that
finish and attend the after
party will be entered into drawings for other great prizes. But don't
dine and dash, because you
have to be present to win.
Proceeds will be donated to the Cedar Valley United Way.
Thank you for your generosity.
