Urban Dare DC Winners

Thank you to everyone who participated in Urban Dare DC. Pictured left to right are the First Family, 3rd, 2nd and first place teams.

Slowdowns on the Metro affected the race, both in terms of people making it to
the start and in the outcome of the race.

Congratulations to Margaret Shepard & Mark Davis of Dirty Deeds and the Thunder
Kiss for becoming the new Urban Dare DC champions.

Erik Carpenter & Tyrone Summers of the Jolly Rogers, 2 time DC champs & Urban
Dare's first national champion, got on board the metro at the Smithsonian at
the same time as the winners. There were long waits at the stations and
Margaret and Mark got off and went on foot. The Jolly Rogers stuck it out a
little longer before they got off and ran the rest of the way to come in
second.

Scott Woodcock & Matt Layman of Cockerson Enterprises took third place honors.

The Family Division was decided by a mere 10 seconds. Brody Garner, Karen
Garner, Riley Garner & Doyle Garner of G-force just barely edged out MaryAnn
Pillar, Jim Pillar, Madeline Pillar & James Pillar of 4 P's-in-a-pod.

Here are the top 5 teams of Urban Dare DC:

2:28:30 - Margaret Shepard & Mark Davis - Dirty Deeds and the Thunder Kiss
2:30:42 - Erik Carpenter & Tyrone Summers - The Jolly Rogers

Jennifer Berge Y Thomas Gertz took second place and hot on their heels to finish 3rd were Jamey Jacquemoud & James Cekola.

Urban Dare Phoenix Top 3 & First Family

My favorite 5:00 minute bonus, the 6-person pyramid, once again affected the outcome of a race.

Wayne Turner and Brent Armstrong of We Just Want to Beat Jill were the first team to cross the finish line, all of their photos checked out, but no bonus pyramid. We started checking the clock to watch 5:00 minutes tick off, to see if their first place finish would hold.

3 minutes and 10 seconds later the Rhonda Loos & Joy McCain of the Spicy Virgos crossed the finish line with Lex & Nicole Moest hot on their heels. Both teams had the bonus pyramid to give them first and second place respectively. Rachel Barrette & Delores Boyd of the Purple Rain Society, also with the bonus pyramid, took third place honors.

Da Reed-Os consisting of Kay, Ryan, Dusty & Connor Reed were the First Family. I am enjoying a growth in the family division, and hope the trend continues.

Here are the top 5 finishers of Urban Dare Phoenix:

1:49:18 - Rhonda Loos & Joy McCain - SPICY VIRGOS
1:49:57 - Nicole Moest & Alexis Moest - Lex and Nic
1:50:02 - Rachel Barrette & Delores Boyd - Purple Rain Society
1:51:08 - Wayne Turner & Brent Armstrong - We Just Want To Beat Jill
1:58:24 - Tracey Tibbetts & Kristin More - Rockettes

He's so going down!

So you think the Bubble Dare is easy

Urban Dare Austin Top 3 & Best Dressed

Urban Dare Austin - Saturday, March 6

Urban Dare Austin runs on Saturday, March 6. We will kickoff at Noon at the Mother Egan's Irish Pub.

Race-day check-in will begin at 11:00am and we will be taking registration up to the start of the race.

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.

We now have a family division. I've always allowed kids to race with their parents, but never made an official division. Family divisions can be three or four people and must have one person 16 or under.

See you at the race.
