Geocache Description:

Welcome to CCSquire's Adventure Race! I am turning 50 this week and to celebrate I am inviting you and non-geocaching friends to join the fun of adventure racing. The event will start at 2pm and will end at 6pm.

What is an Adventure Race? Well it is what you make it. At exactly 2pm, I will go over the race instructions. At the end of the instructions, you will be handed a map with checkpoints labeled on the map and a passport book. You will have up to 3 hours to get as many of the checkpoints as possible. Gather the information needed at each checkpoint and return to the finish area before 3 hours are up. Winners have the most checkpoints in the least amount of time.

Do I have to run? Well no, but you may! The goal is to be smart if you are my age. You would be surprised to find how age does not affect the final results.

Can I win if I don’t run? Honestly, probably not. Is it always about winning? Make it fun. I find running fun and you may find walking fun. Let’s just all have fun in our own way.

Are there prizes? Of course! Prizes are fun! I will make sure that the top racers get prizes and even some of the others. Sorry. I cannot promise a prize to everyone.

You said even non-geocachers? Well of course. It is my birthday and I can invite who I want to… They may be adventure races today, but cachers tomorrow. I have both caching and non-geocaching friends. I have friends and people that will someday be my friends. How can I leave anyone out?

Is there a limit to the number of racers? Well that is a tough one. I would like to say no but it a giga event shows up, then this place is a bit small. Please log a Will Attend and this will help me understand the vast amount of friending going on.

What do I need to bring for the race? Good running shoes or hiking if you prefer, up to 3 hours of energy, patience and your thinking cap. Really you could make this a 5 minute race and hand in your passport, so do not feel that you must race for 3 hours.

Note that this is a race that you are choosing to join. All liability is the racers responsibility.

Please message me if you have questions.
