It’s more about the journey than the destination!

Travel

Teams must travel only by foot or approved local public transport - bus, ferry, train, or monorail and stay within 20m of each other at all times. Any and all other methods of transportation, including, but not limited to, any form of private transportation, car, taxi, skateboard, scooter, motorcycle, rollerblades, hang glider, magic carpet, camel and rickshaw are strictly prohibited. Any team using a prohibited form of transportation will be immediately disqualified.

On-course Assistance

Although teams are encouraged to engage the help of strangers throughout the event, it is strictly forbidden to accept any on-site, on-course assistance from a friend, colleague, or family member. Failure to abide by this rule will result in immediate disqualification.

Use of Support Crews

Teams are allowed to accept assistance from a friend, colleague, or family member who is not on the course. For example, a team could call a person stationed at a computer for assistance with directions to a ChasePoint location.

ChasePoint Cut-off Time

All ChasePoints will officially be closed at the 6 hour mark of each event unless otherwise stated. At this time, all teams must return immediately to the Finish Line and check in with a BlackBerry City Chase staff member.

Finish Line Cut-off Time

The Finish Line will officially close at the 6 hour mark of each event. Teams finishing after that time are still encouraged to check in with a Blackerry City Chase staff member. Please note that the finish line will be taken down 30 minutes after the official end of the event (6.5 hour mark).

Results

To be officially ranked, teams must locate and complete 10 ChasePoints before returning to the Finish Line. Teams will be ranked according to the order they cross the Finish Line. Teams finishing after the 6 hour mark will be ranked according to the number of ChasePoints completed.

Each entrant will be required to sign a waiver and release at race registration.
