Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between CityRace and Race/LA?
Race/LA is a day-long, citywide event for teams of two, based loosely on The Amazing Race.

CityRace Urban Adventures are 3-hour, neighborhood specific clue-solving hunts for teams of 2, 3 or 4.

CityRace clues focus more on using brainpower, research and puzzle-solving skills whereas the clues in Race/LA often involve more navigation around the city and physical activities.

Not at all, but it is an option.

Can I change my team partners after I've registered?
Yes. (but you can not have more than 4 people on a team).

Yes. More information is available here.

Do the winners get prizes?
Yes. The winning team receives a selection of prizes, however, the focus of our events is not on awarding large prizes - it is on providing a fun and unforgettable experience.
