East Bay Scavenger Hunt & Urban Race

HTA East Bay Wrap-Up
Ultimate urban adventure race

It was a hot one. Even with temps 15 degrees above normal our 190 racers loved our second annual East Bay race. These urban adventure racers discovered Berkeley and Orinda. This race was neutralized by BART...it was one of the most exciting races of the year!

We want to thank our sponsors: Lanesplitter, Yelp East Bay, East Bay Express, Timbuk2, Sports Basement and WAKA.

More Info

You've registered for this crazy train experience of a lifetime, so what next? You and your team partner will be on a lively, one-day, East Bay amazing race. This scavenger hunt will take you to unmarked checkpoints known as TREKpoints and explore East Bay like you've never experienced it before as the puzzle unfolds. Our high octane energy adventure game might take you through the many exciting neighborhoods of the East Bay like Berkeley, Oakland, and some nifty places you might not even know about!

On this sensational metro adventure, you'll solve clues ranging from pop culture to math (nothing tougher than 8th grade) to American history, anagrams, sudoku, and so much more. It's like a real life Trivial Pursuit game! Along the way you'll face exciting challenges like bowling a strike, identifying a flavor of ice cream or putting a puzzle together.

In case of a disaster including, but not limited to flooding, tornadoes, terrorism, High Trek Adventure will decide whether or not to cancel the event based on the safety of participants and staff. In the event of a cancelation, refunds will NOT be issued; risk is assumed by all participants. However, participants will have the option to transfer registration to a different 2009 city, excluding Championship Race.

*If High Trek Adventure does not provide participants with a swag bag then the first round of drinks is on us!
