Urban Dare DC Winners

Thank you to everyone who participated in Urban Dare DC.

Now that was fun. Perfect racing weather. Not to hot and not to cold. Congratulations go to Colin Cushing and Dave Horgan for winning in a time of 1:50:16. Our winners were one of only 2 teams to get both bonus’s. Who would have thought finding a bride in her wedding dress was almost as easy as taking a side trip to the Smithsonian.

Second place went to Frank Marino, Charles Walz & Kevin Keefe and third place honors went to Erhan Yilmaz and Heidi Harapko.

Here are the top 5 finishers of Urban Dare DC:

1:50:16 – Colin Cushing and Dave Horgan
2:19:19 – Frank Marino, Charles Walz & Kevin Keefe
2:25:35 – Erhan Yilmaz and Heidi Harapko
2:25:42 – Susan Y. Ru and Matt Van Waes
2:25:49 – Jill Guerin and Michael Fujka

Urban Dare DC runs Saturday, Oct 22. We will kickoff at Noon at the McFaddens at 2401 Pennsylvania Ave NW.

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 races.
