Chicago Urban Race for CHD Research April 27, 2013

The Chicago Urban Race for CHD Research is an exciting day of teams experiencing the thrills of an Amazing Race mixed with one part trivial pursuit and one part urban road race--all to raise funds and awareness for congenital heart defects (CHD) research.

Teams of 2-4 individuals will band together to solve clever clues and to face fun challenges, all while navigating the lively streets and neighborhoods of The Windy City on foot or via public transportation. Teams will each get a list of 10 challenges, with some mandatory and others optional. Each challenge will be different and could be a puzzle, a physical task, or a scavenger hunt. The goal is to be the first team to complete at least 9 of the 10 tasks with the first three teams to do so receiving a prize. Participants are allowed to bring anything they want to the race including cell phone, laptop, tablets, GPS, etc. with the only race stipulation that they can only walk, run or use public transportation during the race.

To kick off the event before the race, we will hear from our guest of honor and a true survivor born with a congenital heart defect who was the 8th infant in the nation to receive a heart transplant and the 4th in the Midwest:

** Bill Coon, Author, Motivational Speaker, Two-Time Heart Transplant Recipient, and Kidney Transplant Recipient
After the race, join us for the After-Party at Lucky Strike with raffle prize drawings, bowling, billiards, and 10% off all food and soda beverages for event participants and guests!
