Great Urban Race set for Saturday
The Great Urban Race is coming to Atlanta Saturday. Billed as a scavenger hunt, teams will solve 12 clues and complete physical and mental challenges by walking, running or using public transportation. The first 25 teams to finish can compete in the national championship race in New Orleans for a chance at the $10,000 prize.
The cost of the race is $55 per person until Friday and $65 on race day. Registration begins at 11 a.m. at Sidebar, 79 Poplar Street. The race begins at noon.
