Sactown Urban Dash
On August 27, 2016, the Active 20-30 Club of Greater Sacramento #1032 is holding their Inaugural Sactown Urban Dash on the West Steps of the California's State Capitol. This scavenger race is similar to a two hour Amazing Race through oldtown, downtown, and midtown Sacramento. Teams of two will solve clues on foot that will lead them to different challenges. Challenges may range from taking a team picture at a location, solving a specific answer to a question, and completing a mental or physical task as you navigate your way through the history of Sacramento with family and friends!
The challenges are designed to be fun for all ages and ability levels. Participants can choose their speed--whether that's a mad dash from clue to clue, or a more leisurely pace.
Children thirteen (13) and up are welcome to be a part of the team. Children twelve (12) and under may race free of charge, but must be accompanied by two other team members. All kids need a waiver and release form filled out by their parent/guardian.
Registration includes race bibs, race clues, challenges, souvenir photo, post-race lunch and refreshments, raffle entry, music, and more!
The course is designed for the fastest team to finish between 45 minutes and an hour. The average finish time will be around 90 minutes. For those with a more leisurely pace, the race will continue to take finish times for approximately 2 hours after the start time. Teams that are still on the course after 2 hours must return to the start line where they can enjoy their post-race lunch and spend some time with fellow participants.The distance of the race depends on the route taken by each team.
The clock begins once the air horn is blown and times are recorded as teams cross the finish line.
Race Check-In
Teams must check-in with the event organizers at the West Steps of the Capitol between 9:00 and 9:45am to receive their race bib. At check in, participants will need to show Photo ID, and fill out their liability waiver and release form. Minors under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult and have a waiver signed by their legal guardian/parent.

Raffles:
Each race bib comes with a raffle ticket. We ask that each participate remove their raffle ticket from their bib and place their raffle ticket in the raffle drum that will be located at the registration table. This ticket is included with your registration fee.
During check-in there will be a vendor village where participants can earn more raffle tickets to increase their chances of winning a raffle prize during the prize ceremony. We ask that you place your bib number on the raffle tickets prior to placing them in the raffle drum. You must be present to win.
All proceeds from this event will benefit the Greater Sacramento Chapter of Girls on the Run. We are very excited to get to pair up with this amazing organization. For more information regarding this organization, please check out their website at: www.GOTRSac.org.
