The Urban Assault Race is a combination of an adventure race, scavenger hunt and bike Race. For the past 2 years, this series has been the biggest adventure race in the country.
Teams of 2 race through the city to reach checkpoints where they perform fun physical and mental challenges. Racers can be ages 7 to 100+.
Challenges may include: Adult big wheels. Obstacles on foot. Scooters. BMX bikes. Slip 'N slides. Bouncy balls. Ropes. Kayaks. Balance and more.
Checkpoints are listed on the website before the race and racers pick their own course to the checkpoints, which can be reached in any order. The first team to complete all the checkpoint challenges and return to the start/finish wins the race. Then the party begins!
The standard race distance is approximately 20 miles and includes up to 10 checkpoints plus the final challenge at the finish. The Family Division is for kids (ages 7-12) and their parents/guardians. The family division will hit 5 checkpoints and ride around 10 miles.
This weekend on March 26 the Urban Assault Series will kick off in Los Angeles, CA. In this event you'll ride through Santa Monica, Venice and Marina Del Rey as you complete many entertaining challenges along the way. It's guaranteed to be the most fun you'll ever have riding around the urban jungle of Los Angeles.
