HTA LA Wrap-Up:

We kicked off our 22 U.S. city tour in beautiful Hollywood. It was filled with all the glitz and glamour of Hollywood complete with celebrities from The Amazing Race! Thanks Kynt and Vyxsin for racing!

High Trek Adventure Los Angeles could not have been pulled off without the fantastic human beings that are Will Cooper, Marketing Associate for Metrolink and Alex Strautman, Director of Development for Aid for AIDS.

We also want to thank Catalina Jazz Club & Grill, Layne Sakamoto of North High School and Veronica Rathbourn of Yelp LA.

Thanks to all of our sponsors: Culver City Bus, DASH, Foothill Transit, LA City Beat, Metro, Montebello Bus Lines, The Onion LA, Pilates Studio City, Timbuk2, Torrance Transit and Toyota of Hollywood.

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, LA amazing race. This scavenger hunt will take you to unmarked checkpoints known as TREKpoints and explore Los Angeles 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 City of Angeles like Hollywood and downtown 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!
