The World’s Largest Urban Adventure Series will turn the Big Apple in to a giant obstacle course as teams of two navigate their way around competing in physical, mental and humorous challenges. The NYC event promises to be a full day of laughter, adventure and discovering the diversity and character of New York City.
Whether searching Soho, exploring Central Park or traveling the largest city in the U.S. on public transit, participants will be pushing their comfort zones in a fun, adventurous way. You need to be a part of it, New York City Chase is the final leg of the U.S. Series so get your partner and sign up today. Limited space available. The winners will advance to our National Championship for a chance to represent the US in the World Championship in Morocco.
How long do you think it took me to sign Karen and I up for City Chase after a friend at work sent around the information?
If you guessed “less than 3 minutes” you’d be right. Everyone knows that Karen and I enjoy competition (Subway Wars, anyone?) and have also been know to enjoy a spot of reality television here and there so you can imagine my excitement at reading about this 1 day mental + physical + squeamishness (?) challenge that was going to take place right here in New York City.
The race costs $190 per team and there are 15 events of which your team has to complete 10 in order to win. Karen’s already getting her baby on and calling that we’re going to skip any of the “eat something gross” challenges. Meanwhile, I want to practice by digging up earthworms in the backyard and feeding them to each other.
The other excellent part is that they fully encourage the use of mobile technology as well as remote team members that can act as a research dept. for you while you’re running around the city. On that note, I have the honor of being able to announce that our good friend (some might call him an Internet master) Micah is going to be a pivotal member of Team Kane Street during the challenge. Our hope is to get him an unmarked van he can sit in as he follows us around from challenge to challenge but we may have to settle for him (and his assistant Carmen) setting up Command Central at his place in Park Slope.
Anyway, this is what we’re going to be doing on Saturday, September 13th and so should you! Grab a partner and go get signed up !
