From the website at http://www.bellcitychase.com:
The Bell City Chase is a unique urban adventure that
requires participants to exhibit teamwork, resourcefulness, determination and the ability
to make decisions on the fly as they search for ChasePoints scattered in unknown locations
throughout the city. ChasePoints are designed to test teams with a variety of physical,
mental, and otherwise adventurous challenges. Teams are supported by the integration of
relevant Bell technology and services.
To conquer this 4-6 hour urban event, 2-person teams will run, walk and use public transit
to navigate their way throughout the city, while calling family and friends for help,
accessing the Internet, and even employing assistance of total strangers. The first team
to complete the required ChasePoints and cross the finish line WINS
and will
compete in a 2-day National Championship!
After only two seasons, The Bell City Chase is already the largest Urban
Adventure race series in the world!!

The Calgary Highlanders were asked to provide support to a military style stand. Warrant Officer Fedoruk, Warrant Officer Reaper, Sergeant Holland, Sergeant Tucker, Master Corporal Jackson, Corporal Poonwah, Corporal Waye, Corporal Taylor, and Corporal Forrest all assisted in setting up a course over which a properly weighted rucksack had to be run, with the added challenge of pulling fully loaded winter toboggans thrown in. |

As demonstrated at left by Sergeant Chris Tucker, the NCOs of the Calgary Highlanders were more than happy to provide the requested "motivation" to the participants. The event generated much positive response from the civilian participants, many of whom considered the toboggan stand a highlight of the event. |
