You can participate solo or in teams of 2 to 5.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
  • Maps are handed out 30 minutes before the race start. Use this time to strategize! Plan which checkpoints you want to find and the route you'll take to get there. Use highlighters, pens, or pencils to mark your intended route on the maps.
  • Checkpoints have varying point values. This may affect the ones you choose to go for!
  • Checkpoints are worth the tens place of the checkpoint number. For example, checkpoint #46 is worth 40 points.
  • After the race briefing, everyone starts at the same time.
  • To prove that you visited a checkpoint, you'll answer a multiple-choice question on the answer sheet. No guessing - incorrect answers receive a point penalty!
  • Do your best to return to the finish on time and turn in your answer sheet, or risk losing 10 points for every minute (or fraction of a minute) that you're late!

WHAT TO WEAR AND BRING
  • Everyone should bring the following:
    • A timepiece, so you'll know when to dash back to the finish
    • Highlighters or other writing utensils for marking the answer sheet and planning your route
    • Comfortable clothing and shoes for the speed you plan to go
  • You may wish to bring the following:
    • A compass. This can be handy but is not necessary.
    • Water and/or snacks
    • A magnifier, to make it easier to read fine details on the map
    • A fun team name!

DIRECTIONS AND PARKING
Start and Finish
  • The start and finish will be at Library Park in Bath, Maine located at 43 Summer St, Bath, ME 04530
Parking
  • Parking is available on the street in various locations around the park. Please don't park in the library parking lot as the library is open during the event.
Safety
  • The only significant hazard in this event is vehicular traffic. This is a serious concern if you are trying to be competitive. It is extremely easy to run into the street with your nose in your map. Look before you leap!
