Get YOUR Kicks - On the Route 66 Challenge!

The Route 66 Challenge is a fun and unique way to explore the Mother Road, spend some time with family and or friends, or just enjoy cruising in a scenic area. It is not a road race, it is actually a game of strategy where the 33 miles of Route 66 in Pulaski County are used as the actual game board for the competition. The challenge starts as teams receive adventure envelopes with a clue or piece of trivia that will lead to a location. That location will then lead them to further instructions, directions, or challenges for points. There will also be mini adventures call detours that offer the opportunity to earn extra points, but they may just be a distraction - it’s up to you whether to take the chance. If you like an adventure and a challenge and love getting out on the open road, we think you would love to participate in the Route 66 Challenge this weekend. There are still 2 team spots available! There are even incentives and discount for shopping local while you are on the challenge. To learn more about it we have information below directly from the Route 66 Challenge website. 

How the Challenge Works

There will be eight Adventures. Detours are optional but highly encouraged to gain points. Points are given out upon completion of each Adventure at the Adventure location.

Earn points by successfully solving trivia and completing tasks packed into Adventure envelopes.

All Adventures are REAL and required to complete the competition. However, not every Detour is a real opportunity for points.

The day begins with an Adventure envelope which contains everything needed for the first two Adventures along with all Detour clues. Additional Adventure envelopes are provided throughout the competition.

The Adventure envelope contains a clue that will reveal a location and lead to further instructions or additional directions.

Use the drive time to solve the clue and accomplish the task.

Teams must be at each adventure during the time allotted to ensure you are at the finish line on time. Adventures can shut down if time has expired.

To record your Route 66 Challenge journey and earn points, you will need a digital camera and Internet-enabled device or smart phone to participate.

Additional points will be awarded in order of arrival time at the finish line. There is a penalty issued for arriving at the finish line earlier than first time slot posted.

Detours

Detours are "mini adventures" that are off the beaten path, vary in point value, and may include donation opportunities for extra points. Some Detours are not real and are impossible to complete. It is up to the participants to strategize and decide which Detours to take and which to avoid.

Shop Local

Collect receipts for anything you buy along the route (example: gasoline, snacks, etc.) that can be used for points for the Give Back award. These points will not be used towards the overall team scoring. Present receipts from purchases made during the event time at the finish line. We have provided you with Shop Local Keytags, which have discounts listed at www.keepitlocal.biz to help you save money throughout the day.

Overall Finish

The registered team and vehicle crossing the finish line with the most points wins.

In addition to the Winning Team the following awards will be presented: Best Theme, Best Social Media and Give Back.
