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!

-a helmet (required for participation)
-at least one teammate (up to 4 per team)

Kids should be capable of riding their own bicycle and MUST have an accompanying parent to participate.
