Coming to you in August, the option to participate in a 6 hour Street Scramble event! Get ready to see Seattle like you never have before!
What is Street Scramble? It’s an urban adventure that’s fun for runners, walkers, and families! Dozens of checkpoints are marked on a special map and your goal is to find as many as you can within the time limit. Whether you sprint or stroll is up to you! You can participate solo or in teams of 2-5.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
- Maps are handed out 30 minutes before the race start. Use this time to strategize! Plan which checkpoints you want to find and the route you’ll take to get there. Use highlighters, pens, or pencils to mark your route on the map.
- Checkpoints have varying point values; this can affect your strategy!
- Checkpoints are worth the tens place of the checkpoint number. (For example, checkpoints #38 is worth 30 points.)
- After the race briefing, everyone starts at the same time when the start is announced!
- To prove that you visited a checkpoint, you’ll answer a multiple-choice question on an answer sheet. (No guessing. This isn’t a trivia contest and incorrect answers receive a point penalty!)
- Do your best to return to the finish on-time and turn in your answer sheet, or risk losing 10 points per minute (or fraction of a minute) that you’re late! This makes for an exciting dash to the finish.
