“Happy Spring, Everyone!

Get ready to explore Columbia City in a whole new way! Our Street Scramble team has been exploring the diverse Columbia City terrain since February and we’re excited for our second annual dash through this neighborhood! A Street Scramble event features thirty locations circled on a map. On foot or bike, how many points can you visit in 90 minutes or in 3 hours?

Participants visit checkpoints in any order they choose; they earn points by answering a simple corresponding question. Those who visit, and answer the most amount of questions correctly are the winners! Be competitive or go casual. Race in a team or solo. With many registration categories, this event is fun for families, runners, cyclists, and anyone at any age who likes to explore.

Columbia City is both a Seattle Landmark District and on the National Registry of Historic Places. It is considered extremely walkable, making it perfect for our type of exploring. Also, just our luck, this neighborhood has three streets named after explorers:

Americus Street - Amerigo Vespucci
Ferdinand Street - Ferdinand Magellan
Hudson Street - Henry Hudson

Join us on Saturday, April 28, for our second annual Street Scramble event in Columbia City. The gracious Southside Commons will be our main headquarters for day-of racer needs. Check out our photos from the 2011 Columbia City Street Scramble. You can find more of us on Facebook and Twitter. Pre-register online at Active.com, or download and mail-in the pre-registration form.”
