The coordinates listed above will bring you to the Shelterhouse at South Chagrin Reservation in Cleveland Metroparks. This free event is very loosely patterned on the TV show The Amazing Race. We can’t promise to fly you all over the world and provide you cars to use as you race from site to site, but we will be holding an event that includes ‘pit stops’, ‘roadblocks’, and a ‘detour’ or two.

You can choose to bring your team of 3-4 cachers and race other geocaching teams or come on your own just to enjoy the event and find some caches. By the time this event is held, winter will (hopefully) be behind us and spring will be everywhere.

The format of the day is as follows:

Event starts: 11am

Race begins: 12 noon

Race end: 4pm

Prizes presented: 4:30pm

Event ends: 7pm

Teams must pre-register by posting a note to this cache page with your team name and team members names by April 12th so we can prepare.

There will be at least 7 event caches available all day, but the 8 race caches will not be available to non-racers until the conclusion of the race. They will be removed at 7 PM.

1-2 new permanent caches will be located close by for your enjoyment.

The race course and event caches are being designed to discourage traveling from cache-to-cache by car. The caches will be positioned to use park trails. Remember it will be spring and the greenery will be tender.

This event is being held for fun. There will be small prizes and gifts and a chance to enjoy spring in the wonderful South Chagrin Reservation.

We will not be providing food for the event, but you are encouraged to take advantage of the shelter and enjoy a spring picnic. If you can bring an item to share, it will be appreciated. We will have water and lemonade available and, if the weather is chilly, we will have hot chocolate and coffee.

There are grills and electricity available at the Shelterhouse. There is a new restroom facility, but there is no water supply. There is plenty of parking close by.

This event cache has been approved by Cleveland Metroparks. The placement of all caches have been approved by Cleveland Metroparks.

The Eastern Chums are MiataBug, the Czardine Can Clan (Geauga Garmin, dbczarina, and Chris K of Geauga), and Carly of the Cleveland Metroparks.
