RACE10 - Release And Cache Event Wrap-Up Event Cache

The location for the wrap-up is:
Christ Community Church
3897 Holland Ave. (Holland & Helmcken)
Victoria, BC
Time: 4pm

This isn't a potluck, in fact the event is being held BEFORE dinner so you can stop by for the awards ceremonies and then head on to evening activities.

If you want to participate in the RACE10, Starting immediately, get out in the fall sunshine and start hiding qualifying caches.

All RACE10 caches should be small, medium or large sized. Micros are only allowed if they are 'stages' of a multi - (the final must be SM, MED or LG). All caches should contain a log book, pencil and some trading items. All RACE10 caches must be winter friendly. Caches must be placed in the Greater Victoria area (within the boundaries of Sooke, Goldstream Park and the Saanich Peninsula).

Categories are as follows:
- Scariest cache
- Orange & black cache
- Funniest cache
- Best night cache
- Best cache "in plain sight"
- Best Halloween themed cache
- Best puzzle or multi cache

You can hide as many 'creative' caches as you like and they can be voted into whichever category the finder sees fit. Each cacher (or team) can only vote on one cache per category.

Mtn-Man has requested that all RACE10 caches be submitted by Tuesday, October 26th 2010. All caches MUST include RACE10 at the beginning of the title (ie. RACE10: Halloween Howler). In the 'short description' please write "This cache has been placed for the RACE10 event, held Oct 29-30, 2010. This cache was released to the public on Oct 28th but should not be located prior to noon, Oct 29th. The caches for the event are released early so that the caching community has an opportunity to solve puzzles and plan their routes prior to the event start."

The earlier your cache is submitted to Mtn-Man the easier his job will be as the release date approaches.

Mtn-Man will be publishing the RACE10 caches at 4pm on Thursday, October 28th. As these caches are published there will be a bookmark list on this event page which may help you keep track of them.

The RACE10 will commence at NOON on Friday, October 29th. Please DO NOT seek out any of the RACE10 caches before NOON on Friday, October 29th. At that time you can search out as many RACE10 caches as you like. You can search in teams, with a buddy, with a dog, individually . . . whatever strikes your fancy. If you'd like to have a scorecard to take with you on the RACE you can print a copy at www.gcgv.ca. To ensure your votes are tallied please return to the wrap-up event by 4pm on Saturday, October 30th.
