Organiser's description

Grab your team of 4 chasers to find our Chicken (Runner). This is much more than a scavenger hunt or road race. Teams will be given a GPS location to meet on July 27 at 8:00 AM. Once you are at this location you will be given your team color and shirts that match that color. You may be the Red Team or another team. Racers will communicate via the Marco Polo application to taunt each other as they complete challenges trying to find our Chicken (Runner). Teams will be chasing around from SLC to Draper (North to South) and Cottonwood Heights to Taylorsville (East to West). Each team will be given a UTA (Bus, Trax, Front Runner) day pass. Teams will be required to stay on sidewalks and follow pedestrian rules like no Jay Walking. If you break laws you will be immediately disqualified. Throughout the chase, you will be given challenges and clues to find the Rabbit. The last hour of the challenge will have the Rabbit turn on his tracker GPS and at that point, the real race will be on. Understand if the Chicken cuts you can cut him off because you are tracking him, thus making it easy to catch him but maybe not faster than another team. Because this is a first year Race/Chase we are doing it for free. No cash prize for 2024.

* 4 People
