Think of Expedition Give as The Amazing Race meets Oprah. In this charity scavenger hunt, teams of two will race all over the city collecting items, taking pictures, and completing tasks to earn points. At the end of the race, the teams with the most points take home some really cool prizes.
Expedition Give is organized and presented by giving101, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to teaching people about the importance of giving, philanthropy, and civic leadership.
Dress appropriate for the weather and the event. You’ll be outside running, walking, and completing tasks most of the day. Running / tennis shoes are strongly encourage.
You'll receive 5 extra points upon check-in if both teammates are wearing a piece of clothing with any charity’s name or logo visible. This includes the official race t-shirt since the event is organized by the nonprofit organization giving101.
Online registration on or before October 18th is $25 per participant.
Online registration after October 18th but before October 24th is $35 per participant.
Day-of registration (October 24th) is $50 per participant – CASH ONLY.

Absolutely. You must sign up as two-person teams, but feel free to work together with other teams during the event if you’re looking to have fun with a group of friends.

Optional:
Expedition Give is designed to be a fun event for people of all athletic levels and physical abilities. Most teams will run between tasks in order to complete as many tasks as possible during the event. All tasks are relatively close to major public transit stops and to each other. Teams that develop a good plan and carefully choose which tasks to complete will likely end up doing better than teams who are faster or are in better shape. This is a charity scavenger hunt, not a road race.
Familiar will help, but you definitely don’t need to be an expert. Being able to read a map (bring your own), Google to figure out clues, or call a friend for help will likely do more good than knowing the city.
No, complete any tasks you’d like in any order you’d like. Choose to complete one task worth a ton of points or many smaller tasks worth fewer points each. The entire day is up to you. No tasks are required.
Maybe, but nothing gross. Remember that all tasks are optional, so you can always choose to skip a food task and earn points by completing other tasks.
Shirts and numbers are given from 11am-11:55am during packet pick-up on the day of the race.
2009 is our first year putting on this event. If it goes well, we may look to expand to other cities in 2010.
Rain or shine, the race will go on.
