What Is The Isaac Foundation Incredible Race For Autism?
A fun “urban race” through downtown Spokane, with all proceeds benefiting The Isaac Foundation – a Spokane 501(c)(3) nonprofit which provides Autism therapy grants to local families.
Can I Have More Details?
Sure! You and three friends (or acquaintances, relatives, business partners, etc.) will sign up in advance as a team and meet at River Park Square at noon on November 8th, ready to play. All teams will receive a list of clues which will lead you through downtown Spokane in a game that is part scavenger hunt, part race, and part obstacle course. Your team will seek, find, count, observe, discover, run faster, jump higher, and exercise your noggins in order to solve the clues and win the race! The tasks will be a combination of facts to find around town and riddles to solve that will lead you to predetermined “checkpoints,” where you’ll complete short challenges using your physical, mental, or humorous abilities, then advance to the next clue of the race. By 4:30 p.m., teams will meet back at River Park Square for a wrap-up celebration.
Are There Prizes?
YES!!! The Rocket Bakeries and the Rocket Market will name a drink after the first place team to be sold in all stores throughout Christmas. Also, the first three teams to complete the race with all the required answers and checkpoint stamps will win other cool prizes (to be announced at the event). All will leave knowing they had fun and gave to a great cause.
