Ever wonder what it feels like to be on the Amazing Race, but can't quit your day job? Then grab a friend, a map of downtown, your sneakers, and prepare for an exhilarating race around the Portland when High Trek Adventure comes to town on August 9th.

High Trek Adventure is a unique urban adventure game where brains beat brawn! Teams of 2 solve clever clues and face fun challenges all while navigating the urban jungle via foot or on public transportation! It's a scavenger hunt, with all the thrills of The Amazing Race, mixed in with Trivial Pursuit, throw in a mini road race and add a dash of cat-and-mouse. And voila! You've got High Trek Adventure!

If anyone who is going up to the Wuhoo race this weekend has room, we have a racer, Sherpa, who needs a ride. Email me at paul@pdxadventureracer.com ASAP, so he can plan on it or not....

I have it on good authority that he doesn't eat much and is completely housbroken...

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
