This race is more a scavenger hunt though, as teams of up to four people solve clues taking them throughout downtown and Vancouver's history. This is a family friendly event sure to be fun for everyone, whether you are an avid "hardcore historian" or a "history buff" who merely "dabbles" in history. And this year there is a new partner nonprofit, the Police Activities League of SW Washington. Thus when you sign up to compete you're not just supporting one amazing nonprofit, but two, doubling your impact!
