Urban Dare Fort Worth - Sat, Dec 4

Urban Dare Fort Worth will start and finish at the Magnolia Motor Lounge at 3005 Morton St. 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.

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.

Special thank you to Chris Goodwin and Ed Wagner for the fabulous photos. Not everything went as planned due to the Independence Hall Clock Scaffolding but it was great to see all of the teams go with the flow.

Even though the Phillies lost later that night, I was inspired by all of the Roy Halladay Jersey photos especially the two teams who took a picture of a dog wearing the Jersey. I should have made an executive decision and given an extra bonus for that.

Thank you to everyone who competed in Urban Dare NY II.

Congratulations to our joint winners Andrew Arens & Ben Schneider and Troy Miller & Peter Senftleben. Yes, we had a tie.

Third place went to Charles Walz and Ray Wadkins.

Our family winners were Sweet 16: Ali Hahn, Cyndi Hahn, Keri Wagner and Katherine Hartig (I don't think anyone had a better time except for maybe the team that finished well behind the pack but partook in all the available refreshments & were feeling no pain).

Specials kudos go out to team PMX-Train for completing all the tasks plus all of the bonus's while accompanied by a very well behaved one year old.

A wonderful team of ladies decided to be creative. Instead of getting a photo of two people doing a piggy back, they took a pricless photo of a pink PIGGY BANK. It
goes without saying that they got full credit. If the aformentioned team reads this, please send us the photo. I gaurantee it will be published.

Here are the top five finishers of Urban Dare NY II:

2:54 Andrew Arens and Ben Schneider
