Race Review - Indianapolis Scavenger Hunt

This wasn't a race, per say.  This was more of a fun event.  They called themselves a "race" but they use that term loosely.

First off this race was horribly organized.  We had no idea where we were suppose to even go until the evening before.  Many people were posting on the event page how poorly the directors were handling the event.

Once it was finally posted, we were relieved that it wasn't some sort of scam.  Therefore, we headed down the next day with very little expectations at this point.  Once we were parked, we still had no idea where to really go. The only way we found it was we saw people with race bibs on.  We headed that way and there was a small table with a woman sitting there.  There was a truck with a banner that was barely visible that read Challenge Nation.  She told us to take a bib and was adamant about us taking only 4 pins for our bib and we could have just one temporary tattoo, yea no thanks.

So we waited until it was time to begin.  A gentlemen yelled for one person to be the group leader and to walk to the side of the building with him.  He gave instructions and handed out the paper with the clues and we were off!

Let me start off by saying if you didn't know downtown Indianapolis, forget it.  The clues were tough and we had no idea where anything even was.  It was a lot of history, statues and locations.  Out of 11 clues, I think we ended up getting 6 maybe?  I was so miserable towards the end, that we opted to quit.  We had a little over an hour left and we said, forget it.

It was not fun at all.  I honestly would not recommend this event.
