In a city devoted to the outdoors, the Austin Sports & Social Club has turned this city into a fun and adventurous urban quest. On March 31st, come have a blast on an expedition that will challenge your sports skills, social skills, & mental skills – the second annual Downtown Dash!
What is the Downtown Dash?
1) AUSTIN’S OWN ONE DAY AMAZING RACE
If you have ever watched the popular TV series and thought to yourself, “I can do that!”, then we say “Come on down!” Teams of two will complete the Dash on foot or using public transportation, while solving clues to discover hidden encounters all across the city. This event will pack months worth of weekends into one afternoon of thrills!
2) SPORTS SKILLS
We are going to test your physical prowess with a variety of differing sports challenges. We hope you are in-tune with your inner-child as we will be probing your physical aptitude all the way back to your elementary days!
3) SOCIAL SKILLS
Just like an Austin Sports & “Social” Club game night, before and after each sport is the best part. Are you a social butterfly? How sharp are your flip cup skills? Could you easily make a new friend to help you out? The Downtown Dash will test your social skills in order to excel through the challenge.
4) MENTAL SKILLS
Don’t consider yourself a top-shelf athlete? Fear not, for this event also rewards well-rounded teams who can use their mental acumen to solve the puzzles quickly and efficiently. Teams will make Downtown Austin their own playground for the afternoon, but there will be difficult decisions, mysteries, and intrigue along the way. Participants will need to be clever and creative while navigating the course, while using all the resources available to reach the necessary checkpoints. Teams can employ the help of friends, family, smart-phones, the internet, and outright strangers on the street to assist them throughout the day.
5) KEEPIN’ IT WEIRD!
This isn’t your typical A to B race, you choose the course. Know a shortcut through Downtown from your time on 6th Street? Go for it. New to town and looking for some of the coolest places to hang out in Austin? This is your one-stop, self-guided tour. Whatever your experience level is, we’ve got the challenge for you.
