What do you get when you combine one problem solving, one part teamwork, one part urban adventure and a dash of craziness? The GO Urban Adventure Race. Having kicked off in Washington D.C. on Wednesday, GO Urban will be bringing the race to thirteen different cities throughout the next year, encouraging people to get outside and live healthier lifestyles.
The race’s “primary purpose is to get people outside and into the city to explore its best known spots as well as its secrets.” Teams of two will compete by searching for a series of points that provide clues to follow on. The cool thing is that GO Urban is an initiative started by The Vallon Institute, a non-profit that focuses on sustainability and health, which means that the race organizers choose “local places that try to do things in a better way for the environment that lead to a healthier lifestyle.”
We support that, plus, what’s more entertaining than competing in an urban adventure competition? Not much… which is why you should check out whether or not GO Urban is making its way to your town and sign up to participate!
