Geocache Description:

All individuals with an interest in treasure hunting are invited to the “Race for the Cache” / Meet & Eat. It will give you a chance to meet and socialize with other cachers in the area.

Event Details

At 1:00pm, all teams participating in the Race for the Cache aspect of the event will assemble at an area within the limits of the festival taking place in downtown Portage. Each team will be given a “Cacheport.” This booklet includes the locations of the caches, and information about our city. All caches will be hidden within the limits of Portage township.

The traditional model of Geocaching will be followed, leaving behind a small trinket in each cache and taking the one that has been left by the previous cacher, but this event does have a twist. When you find each cache, you will also need to copy a unique code onto your “cacheport,” which are written on each logbook.

Once you have found all the caches and have completed your collection of “cacheport” codes, return to the “Race for the Cache” HQ and turn in your “cacheport” to the Portage Parks & Recreation staff.

At 3:00pm sharp, all teams are to meet back at the headquarters whether or not they finished the "race." At this time, the winners will be announced and prizes will be given (specific prizes yet to be determined).

After the short award presentation, there will be time to eat, sign the log book, and socialize with other cachers. Food will be available for purchase, or you can bring your own. Therefore, if you're not interested in participating in the "race" but just want to socialize with other cachers and score this event as a find, show up at 3pm!

If you don’t have enough time to finish the race, don’t worry! The race caches will be permanently placed for you to come back and experience more of our area at another time. I will ask the Reviewer to wait to publish these caches until August 16th so that everyone participating in the event has a chance to score some FTFs!!
