In the days of olde, treasure hunters crossed the seas and beat back jungles in search of precious metals and plunder. Today, we compete for points, earned by following clues, discovering lesser known attractions, and clearing some jungles too! With a treasure map, some riddles and an eye for explorations, teams will compete for points, prizes, and glory. You might be surprised by what the Anacostia River has to offer!
What to Bring
-a bike
-a helmet (required for participation)
-at least one teammate (up to 4 per team)
-a smartphone and Twitter or Instagram account (1 per team)
-a costume fitting of a treasure hunter (optional, but encouraged)
Kids Welcome!
Bike savvy kids are encouraged to join too. While adult teams will be searching for treasures spread all along the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail, kids can enjoy a shorter, more directed hunt just for them. Kids should be capable of riding their own bicycle and MUST have an accompanying parent to participate.

Love the Idea Charles. Sounds like fun
ReplyDeleteBummed I didn't see this earlier! I wonder if the new pirate ship playground was part of the treasure hunt.
