Each team receives a race passport at the beginning of the race with their first clue and riddle and a boundary map of the race area.
Teams solve riddles to learn the location of each stop where they must then complete a mental and physical test. The first team to cross the finish line after fulfilling all challenges wins.
Teams have two hours to complete the race. The race begins and ends in the same location, with an afterparty at the finish line.
This event is an incredibly fun and great presentation of San Antonio, bringing together community engagement and the City's unique culture and history. It addresses the City's goals of fitness and spreading the love of San Antonio's heritage. Many past participants return year after year and ask when the event will return.
