Introducing a New Race or Chase!
Catch Me If You Can Run - July 27, 2024 (Just put online yesterday. This is why you have not heard about it)
Maybe we should not call it a race but a chase. I have been kicking around a crazy fun running idea for a while now and it is finally going to happen. On July 27, 2024 we are doing a Chase around Salt Lake County area (Cannot leave Salt Lake County). Grab your team of 4 runners to chase after my crazy son dressed as a Chicken. The winning team will be awarded $1000 and a 12 month 4 season passes to On Hill Events. Each team will be given a UTA Day Pass good for any bus, trax or Front Runner. The race starts at 8:00 AM with the Chicken Egging your team on over Marco Polo application on your smartphone and giving you a clue as to where he is. Later a new GPS and clue is given. Each interval of the clues will happen more often. 45 Mins(8:45 AM), 30 Mins(9:15 AM), 20 Mins(9:35 AM), 15 Mins(9:50 AM), then at 10:00 AM the true race is on where chasers will be given the Chickens live GPS tracking info. This means you can see where he is and where he is going in real-time. Remember the team that catches him first will be given $1000 and a 12-month 4 season passes to On Hill Events. Rules are you must have a smart phone with plenty of data to send in views of your team's fun highs and lows. No getting outside help outside of your team, follow the rules of the road like no Jay Walking. No, getting rides outside of the UTA-supported rides. This should be a blast and will be made into a video and put on YouTube. However, it is not necessarily a race because your distance will be shorter if you are smart and follow clues well. They will be fairly easy but some challenges to them. We are limited to 100 teams due to the technology and apps we will be using to support the race so do not wait to register. By Noon the race will be over one way or another. We will make it easier and easier until everyone has caught him. The final location will be at a park where we will have fun and awards. It will be a great place to share stories.
The Catch Me If You Can is on Saturday July 27, 2024.
