Most of us loved scavenger hunts when we were kids. The hunts were a challenge and a test of wit. But, more than that, they were fun. If you’re an adult you probably feel your days of scavenger hunts have long been over, but that’s where The Great Urban Race comes in. On Sept. 12, a scavenger hunt (and party!) for adults will be held to raise money for Classroom Central, a charity that collects and distributes school supplies to local Charlotte-Mecklenburg schools. Teams of two will combine brain power to solve 12 challenging clues – both mentally and physically. The first 25 teams to finish the race will get the chance to compete in the National Championship race in New Orleans with an opportunity to win a $10,000 prize. Let the games begin! Participants 18 and under must be accompanied by an adult. Cost of race is $60-$70. Registration begins at Fox & Hound Smokehouse & Tavern, located at 300 N. Tryon St., at 11 a.m. Race starts at 12 p.m. For more information, click here. You can also contact Ryan Kunkel by phone at 773-770-6032 or by email at ryan@redfrogevents.com.
