On Saturday (August 28, 2010), six members of the Daily Gumboot team will be participating in City Chase Vancouver. And it’s gonna be fun! Over the next few days, you will be hearing from members of our hopefully victorious crew about this Amazing-Race-like event and the myriad ways that it creates community. We’re excited to explore Vancouver in fun new ways, laugh at ourselves as we stumble over, around and through obstacles and, most importantly, we’re excited to do it all in our gumboots!

CITY CHASE: WHAT WILL IT MAKE YOU DO?

So what if you don’t know anything about City Chase? Well, it’s a race that will get you out of your comfort zone and raise your potential in ways you never knew possible. Teams of two explore their city en route to tackling/solving/overcoming a bunch of hilarious and/or mind-bending and/or precarious and/or fleet-footed challenges, obstacles and problems. Using only public transit, their feet and their minds, hundreds of teams will be careening around Vancity this Saturday in hopes of best navigating the course and, if victorious, representing their community at the National Championships. You just need to ask yourself this question: what will City Chase make me do?

Let the chase begin! And let’s have fun with it!
