Washington Scavenger Hunt & Urban Race

HTA Washington, DC Wrap-Up

Oh what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day. The weather we had at our urban adventure race in DC was the best this year: cool, 70's and sunny! 165 people solved, got a free scoop at Giffords, tried on trendy jeans at Universal Gear and raced all over our nation's capital.

Shout Outs:
High Trek Adventure DC could not have been pulled off without the awesomenes of Yelp.com, even more specifically, Kevin Lee and his trusty band of yelper staff (you gotta read their reviews; they have the pulse on the Beltway). I would be remissed if I did not mention Drarell Demps of DC CARE Consortium. DC CARE aids people in need of food, housing and medical assistance. The could use your kind support.

We also want to thank Tara Treffry of Ulah Bistro, Jennifer Currie of On Tap Magazine Magazine and Hugh Sission of Clipper City Brewery.

Thanks to all of our sponsors: Base Camp, City Bikes, Coppi's Organic, Duplex Diner, Fleet Feet of Adams Morgan, Global-Fitness, Graceful Edge, Polly's Cafe, Timbuk2 and Universal Gear.
