Adventure races are all the fad right now but frankly, getting covered in mud and ducking under fire is just not this mom’s thing.
So when I was invited to participate in the Social City Dash, I was hesitant…until I read what it was all about. and this twitter-loving, Instagram-posting-fool signed right up.
The Social City Dash is a one day event where teams of two or more (two adults maximum, kids are free, families are always welcome) use social media to solve clues, complete tasks and overcome challenges while learning cool things about the town they live. In a nutshell, the Social City Dash is, “…a family-friendly, community-oriented, urban adventure race for the social media savvy.”
Our friends at the Dash (as they call it) have given us 10 free team admissions to give away.
