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.
