Start Your Engines! The Chattanooga Area Geocachers (CAG) will begin a Travel Bug Race on May 17, 2026. Bring to the event your favorite item which will represent your TB's mode of transportation for the race. Each person attending the event will receive a TB tag and number (at no cost to you). All entries will be activated and dropped off at the event and begin their race there. They will then be transported to Geowoodstock 2026 in Kansas to continue into the world. We will report on the progress of your Travel Bug around the country and around the world at future CAG events.
Mark a "Will Attend" so we can make sure you are in the running (and have a Travel Bug available for your entry). The race begins on May 17, 2026 at 6:00 pm. The track grill will be open if you desire to purchase pizza or other food or drink but, as always, that is optional. The side room is being provided free of charge to us (as long as we don't bring any food -- so please don't bring any food; bring only yourself and your travel bug item). There is a limit of one (1) Travel Bug per attendee.
The Four Awards for the 2026 Race will be for: 1) Most miles accumulated by the TB entries in 1 year; 2) Most caches visited by the TB entries in 1 year; 3) The closest TB entry to make it back to original event location) in 1 year; and 4) The TB entry furthest away (from original event location) in 1 year. The Awards Ceremony will be held in approximately one year from the TB Race event (in May 2027).
