The SkirtChaser 5K: A "Social Fitness Experiment"

(blog)

Not merely a race, but a "social fitness experiment," the upcoming SkirtChaser 5K on Nov. 15 is an innovative concept where the women, clad in skirts (included in the entry fee), all take off from the start line at 2pm promptly, and three minutes later, the men follow (get it? "skirt chaser?"). Regardless of gender, the first person to cross the finish line will go home with $500. Awards will also be given to the second and third place finishers, as well as a special "Skivvies Award" recipient.

Scavenger Crawl

(event)

$20 per person

The Scavenger Crawl is a rockin’ new way to calculate your cool. Compete against other San Franciscans in a new scavenger hunt that challenges both your feet and your brain. This scavenger crawl is a mash-up of scavenger hunt, fun run, and a costume parade. Teams will each be given a list of challenges at the starting point and the first to complete their selected checkpoints, and cross the finish line, will be the winner. Why is crawl included? Well, the team heard quite a bit of feedback that adding a few bars to the hunt would increase the fun. And, we are all about fun.

The wildest rally on four wheels speeds out of SF.We were live at the scene and caught up with Tyson Beckford, The Cuban Brothers, and Bucky Lasek before they revved up their engines and kicked off the drive by day, party by night rally. Check out our video coverage below (who knew a VW bus could do 160?) and read more about Gumball in our July feature story.
