Circle Camps Presents: Race by the Riverside
Join us on April 10th at 10:00 am for Circle Camps' spring fundraising event: Race by the Riverside! We raised over $10,000 last year, and we are hoping to exceed that this year with your help. Your registration fee and/or donation goes directly to Circle and our endeavor to provide free summer camp and leadership programming for girls who have experienced the death of a parent.
This event is totally family-friendly, and please note that there will be a couple of hours of hiking - something to keep in mind when planning with young kids!

FAQs:
How long will the actual racing portion be?
Teams can expect to be walking/racing for about 2 hours.
Does the winning team get a prize?
Yes! Teams who come in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd will all receive a great prize. Remember, teams must have a max of 4 members.
Will there be food and drinks?
Yes! We will have snacks, drinks, and lunch after the race.
What kind of race is this? How do I win?
Race by the Riverside is an adventure race that incorporates hiking/jogging through the woods in search of checkpoints. The race requires a basic understanding of orienteering (using a map and compass) in order to find these checkpoints. The goal is to find the most checkpoints in the shortest amount of time. There will also be a fun mystery event!
What do I need to bring with me?
Bring a bag that is big enough to fit your water bottle, sunscreen, chapstick, and the map and compass but is small enough to be comfortable. The map and compass will be provided!
What if I'm not a runner?
We are big believers in the "run your own race" mentality. Above all, this event is meant to be FUN! You are encouraged to release your inner olympian or use this as an opportunity to have a nice walk in the woods with your family.
How can I show other people what a fun time I'm having?
We would love for you to document your adventure race and tag us @circlecamps on Instagram!
