Are you ready to race?
We are!
This year, Wings Over New Haven is a challenge location sponsor for the 2014 New Haven Urban Scavenger Race on Sept. 20.
Competitors will need
to visit Wings Over New Haven and consume a special chicken wing that will be
provided. After this is done, they will cross it off their list and move on to
the next clue location. Competitors will also have to take pictures of the
location as proof that they were here.
Registration for the race must be done by Sept. 19.
Teams may have two to four members and at least one team member must be 21
years old or older.
The race will begin at noon at Geronimo’s Tequila
Bar and Southwestern Grill in New Haven.
During the race, participants will work together to
solve clues, discover local sites, businesses and more – all while giving back
to the community and having fun.
Only public transportation may be used, meaning
participants may walk, take a bus, or ride the free trolley. Teams will be
penalized for using private transportation like taxis, bicycles, unicycles,
mopeds, scooters, segways, etc.
The team that correctly solves the most clues in the
shortest amount of time wins a prize. The team with the best team costume also
wins a prize!
Each participant will leave with a goodie bag of
coupons and discounts from the sponsors.
No pets are allowed. Participants should bring a pen
or pencil, smartphone or camera, smartphone adapter, and money for water, snacks,
etc. Participants should also wear sneakers.
The beneficiary of the race is Public
Allies of Connecticut, which is a New Haven AmeriCorps program that advances the new
leadership to strengthen communities, nonprofits, and civic participation
through a 10-month apprenticeship program. The members (Public Allies) are
talented, emerging leaders from the communities that are served.
Look forward to seeing you on the 20th!
