Put on a Happy Race


If you’ve got running shoes, a bicycle and some friends or family members with competitive energy to burn, then grab a compass and sign up for the St. Louis Adventure Challenge.

It’s put together by a group of local parks and recreation departments and is billed as a mini version of The Amazing Race. Although the feats you’ll face are being kept tightly under wraps, a mental challenge encountered at the Springfield Urban Challenge (which ours is modeled after) was the blindfolding of one team member, who had to successfully maneuver a remote-controlled car by listening to verbal cues from his/her partners in crime.

As far as the physical challenges – well, that’s where the running shoes and bike will come in handy.
