RACE OF THE MONTH



Aligned with our similar fondness for running through downtown San Francisco, the race pick for this month is the CitySolve Urban Race Series! Link: http://www.citysolveurbanrace.com/ From the site: "Teams of 2 solve clever clues and face fun challenges all while navigating the urban landscape via foot or on public transportation! It's a scavenger hunt, with all the thrills of the amazing race, mixed in with trivial pursuit, throw in a mini road race and add a dash of cat-and-mouse." The San Francisco edition will be held on July 24, but you must register your team ASAP! If you miss it this month, you can still try your hand in the East Bay on August 21 and San Jose on October 16!
