City Quest is a race where participants solve clues taking them to locations throughout their city by foot or public transportation (bus, trolley) where they solve physical and mental challenges. Think the "Amazing Race", but for the city you live in!
Participants will create teams of 2-4 or more that will solve clues given them to the kick off of the race. Once the race starts, solving the clues, determining a race path, and successfully completing the challenges throughout the race will be unique to every team. This isn't your typical "take a selfie and run" race! Team will need to solve puzzles and mental challenges at selected stops and other times will complete physical challenges before they can advance to the next clue.
On race day, participants can expect a fun filled day of exercise, adventure, and exploring their city. All participants will receive a City Quest shirt, food/drink specials at the start/finish line, water at the challenge stops, and there will be cash and prizes for top finishers and best costumes in each city!
City Quest will also donate a portion of the proceeds from the entry fees to local non-profits in each city!

Rules:
- Teams are comprised of two members per team. There are two divisions: Adult and Family, a Family Team must have a child age 14 or under.
- Teams may travel by foot or public transit, which includes buses, trains, subways, and public trolleys. No taxis, bikes, skateboards, or roller blades are allowed.

- Teams are allowed to use friends or family to help solve clues.
- Teams will need a digital camera or phone with camera ability in case a clue involves pictures.
- Teams are required to finish all clues correctly. The clock begins once the clue envelopes are opened, and times are recorded as teams cross the finish line.
- Penalties are given to teams who did not complete or incorrectly completed a clue. For each clue not completed correctly, teams receive a 20-minute penalty that will be added to their final time.
After penalty adjustments, teams with times longer than five hours will receive a DNF (did not finish).
