Each team must bring a cell phone
and one digital camera to the race for use in solving certain
clues. A pad of paper, pens and clipboard are strongly recommended,
as are comfortable shoes, sun screen and water!!
The Start
Teams must register at the Berzcy
Park, across from the United Way of Greater Toronto offices
at 26 Wellington Street East (one block east of Yonge St.)
between 11:30-12:30pm, and the warm-up by Premier fitness
begins at 12:30pm. Race starts at 1pm!!
Registration
On-line registration guarantees you
a place in the race, but you must also check your team in
– all members present – on the day of the race
between 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. to pick up your registration
kit.
Warm-Up
At 12:30 p.m., trainers from Premier
Fitness will lead all 50 teams in a group stretch to prepare
for the race.
Team Package
All teams will be given a team package
that includes four one-day TTC passes, a passport, one map
of Toronto, a wristband for each team member, and various
other items to help make your race a success. Arrive early
to ensure plenty of time to decipher your first clue! All
teams will begin at the same time, at 1:00 p.m.
Transportation
One coupon for a $10 Beck Taxi ride is included in your package,
as well as four one-day TTC passes. Allowable methods of transportation
include walking, and TTC. Teams are not allowed to use other
methods of transportation such as scooters, skateboards, roller-blades,
bikes, cars or rickshaws. If caught using alternate forms
of transportation, your team will be disqualified. *Any other
allowable forms of transportation required for completing
the race will be indicated at the checkpoints.
Checkpoints
Teams will have to solve clues which will lead them to a series
of checkpoints. Once your team has its passport stamped to
indicate it has completed all checkpoints, it should head
to the finish line. It is up to your team to create a strategy
to cross the finish line first. Some tasks will be easy, others
more challenging! Checkpoints may include participating United
Way agencies, public establishments, landmarks, and/or stores.
Validation
Each team must have their passports
stamped at each checkpoint, and all four members have to be
present to get a stamp.
Official After Party at the Drake
Hotel - Finish Line
All clues lead to the party…
Your final checkpoint is the After Party at The Drake Hotel.
Make sure that all team members have their official ticket
to the after party. The team who arrives first will be declared
the winners! Results of the race will be announced at the
Drake Hotel, the official after party venue, and fabulous
prizes will be awarded! Even if your team has NOT completed
each checkpoint by 5pm, please head to the after party.
OTHER IMPORTANT STUFF
Safety
Each racer must abide by all traffic
and other municipal laws during the race. Failure to do so
will result in disqualification from the race.
Food and Beverage
There will be no food or beverage
stations set up for the race. Racers are free to stop for
food and/or beverages throughout the course of the race, however
we encourage you to bring their own snacks and beverages to
avoid unnecessary pit stops.
