My friend Leyla is putting together an Urban Hunt in Chicago August 14th called FIJI Water Urban Hunt. This social competition will have 50 teams, 20 items, 1 day, 2 finalists, and 1 winning team. If you have will want to disconnect from your laptop and run around Chicago with your smart-phone and utilizing the power of social media.
For more information and registering a team go to TheUrbanHunt.com you can also find them on Facebook and Twitter.
Event Details
Participants are asked to arrive at the as-yet-to-be-determined starting location between 2:00 p.m. – 2:30 p.m. The FIJI Water Urban Hunt will begin at 3:00 p.m.
Each team will receive a complementary CTA Card (Chicago Transit Authority) for their journey. This is the sole means of transportation that participants may use. Any team member caught using a taxi, private car, or any other form of private transportation will be disqualified. Since the FIJI Water Urban Hunt will be taking place in the downtown Chicago area, all items on the list will be accessible by public transportation or on foot. Sponsors will be revealed to participants through email, Facebook, and Twitter but no items on the lists will be divulged prior to the 3:00 p.m. start time.
The FIJI Water Urban Hunt will begin and end at the same location. Participants must bring a driver’s license, state-issued ID, or passport as well as their signed waivers. Once registered, they will pick up their race packets and CTA cards. Registration will then be followed by a short introduction. At 2:45 p.m., participants will be given their “list,” and then head out on their journey at 3:00 p.m. Any team arriving after 2:30 p.m. will not be guaranteed their list or race packet by 3:00 p.m.
