Calling all STL adventurers and Amazing Race fans! This year is the first year for Expedition Give AND they have chose to host it right here in ATL! Think of Expedition Give as The Amazing Race meets Oprah. In this charity scavenger hunt, teams of two will race all over the city collecting items, taking pictures, and completing tasks to earn points. At the end of the race, the teams with the most points take home some really cool prizes.

Who is behind Expedition Give?
Expedition Give is organized and presented by giving101, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to teaching people about the importance of giving, philanthropy, and civic leadership.

What should I bring?

* A FUN attitude and a sense of humor!

* Ten dollars or more in cash

Optional:

* Cell phone
* Water / snacks
* Backpack
* GPS

What should I wear?
Dress appropriate for the weather and the event. You’ll be outside running, walking, and completing tasks most of the day. Running / tennis shoes are strongly encourage.

You'll receive 5 extra points upon check-in if both teammates are wearing a piece of clothing with any charity’s name or logo visible. This includes the official race t-shirt since the event is organized by the nonprofit organization giving101.

How much does it cost?
Online registration before October 11th is $27.63 per participant. ($25 + their $2.63 processing fee) . Thereafter, the cost will increase so let's get in while it's early. NO REFUNDS! The race will go on rain or shine!

AND AS A BONUS

As an incentive for signing up early, all registered teams will receive an email one week before the event containing 5 of the tasks (and associated point values) that will be on the official task list the day of the event. Show us that you’ve completed those tasks prior to the event when you pick up your race numbers, and the event staff will provide “Sneak Peek” completion cards that you can turn in at the finish line to get credit for those points without having to do them during the actual event. These tasks are completely optional, but they will allow you to start the day with quite a few points if you’re willing to put in a little extra work ahead of time.

Do I have to sign a waiver to compete in the race?
Yes!

What will I get?
* A really fun and challenging day
* An official participant t-shirt
* Coupons to local restaurants and attractions
* Post-event refreshments (water, fruit, & granola bars included; other food & beverages available for purchase at the event location)
