Urban Dare Indianapolis - Top 5 Finishers




Thank you to everyone who participated in Urban Dare Indianapolis.

Congratulations go to Cherylynn Schilling and Stephanie Schilling for winning in a time of 1:15:13. Urban Dare is deeply saddened that they will not be able to compete in our Championship Race next June in Milwaukee. Something about a teaching gig in China that will stop them from a chance at Adventure Racing immortality. Priorities are not in order, it appears.

Second place went to Marla Johnson and Gibson Gilmore, and third place honors went to Scott White and Kimberly Duncan. Kudos to our first Family winners of Ryan Spence and Jamie Spence who wielded a carriage plus a 2 and 5 year old who were real troopers.

Apparently there were some sailors in town who helped teams re-enact the famous WWII sailor/nurse Times Square kissing photograph. Next race there will be a bonus for that.

Here are the top 5 finishers of Urban Dare Indianapolis:

1:15:13 – Cherylynn Schilling and Stephanie Schilling
1:33:44 – Marla Johnson and Gibson Gilmore
1:34:13 – Scott White and Kimberly Duncan
1:37:13 – Troy Hatfield and Jacob Summers
1:40:06 – Andrew Beckman and Brendan Frank

Long Beach and Indianapolis Dares - Sat, Aug 20


Urban Dare Long Beach will kickoff at Noon on Saturday, August 20 at the Auld Dublin at 71 S Pine Ave.

Urban Dare Indianapolis will kickoff at Noon on Saturday, August 20 at the Front Page Sports Bar at 310 Massachusetts Ave.

We will begin checking people in at 10:00 am and the race will start at Noon.

This year we are relaxing our rule on having to wear Urban Dare shirts. If you have team costumes/uniforms, you may wear those. Otherwise, you must wear the Urban Dare shirts, which you will receive at check-in. We will have a $50 prize for the best costume.

You should bring a cell phone and a digital camera to show your pictures at the end of the race. A cell phone camera will work. Maps are also handy and you should have someone to call to help look up clues. I also recommend a pen or pencil to take notes.

Urban Dare, www.urbandare.com, is the race where smarts can beat speed. Teams of 2 solve clues to find checkpoints where they must take photos or perform dares.

Once you are out of the starting blocks, you will pick up your clue sheets and be on your way. You can call friends as much as you want for help on clues. For the checkpoints that mention a dare, you must check in with the Urban Dare official, accomplish your task, and get your passport stamped before moving on. On checkpoints that mention a photo, you must get a photo with both team members to show you were both there.

This is a team race. You must be together throughout the race. You may walk, run or use public transportation to get to checkpoints.

At checkpoints with dares, you must accomplish a task and get your passport stamped to move on to the next checkpoint. Dares range from throwing a bulls-eye, doing a climbing wall, completing a puzzle or eating something (things people like, not bugs).

We expect the winners will finish the race in about 2 hours and most of you will finish under 4 hours. We are working to provide a fun-filled day for you, while providing some good challenges.

See you at the races.
