CitySolve Urban Race Honolulu

WHEN: February 20, 2010 11 AM - 4 PM
WHERE: Honolulu Academy of Arts

On February 20 from 11am-4pm, the Honolulu Academy of the Arts will be partnering with CitySolve Urban Race in its kick-off of the 2010 race series and first-ever race in Hawaii.  CitySolve Urban Race spans 25 cities nationwide.  The speed at which you and your partner can solve puzzles and locate race stops are just as important as how fast you can run.  It's the road race for runners who like to think and thinkers who like to run.  Creativity and costumes are encouraged!

Proceeds from the CitySolve Honolulu race will go to the Honolulu Academy of the Arts. Simply enter the discount code HAA when registering online to ensure credit back to the Academy as well as a 15% registration fee discount for yourself.
