Urban Dare San Diego - Sat, Apr 2


Urban Dare San Diego will kickoff at Noon this Saturday, April 2 at the Tipsy Crow at 770 5th Ave.

We will begin checking people in at 11:00 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.

Thank you for everyone who participated in Urban Dare South Beach 2011.

Second place went to Christiana Serle and Tracy Towle-Humphrey with third place honors going to Aaron Gillego and James Besteman.

Special kudos go out to Joel and Sonia Davis who, while accompanied by five month old Lydia, correctly finished all the clues and even managed to get the Apple bonus. Three diapers and two feedings later, Lydia more than qualified as our trooper of the day.
