'Amazing Race' Laguna Beach? An Urban Adventure Returns March 24

Last year's CityRace was such a big hit, it's happening again. And again.

This would be the CityRace Urban Adventure Hunts, inspired by the TV show The Amazing Race, where teams race around the world for a $1 million prize. Such a huge windfall will not await the winners of this particular journey through the downtown Laguna Beach streets, though, but there will be prizes ...

The object is to send teams of two to four players running around Laguna Beach for three hours while they solve clues, answer site-specific trivia questions and crack codes, all of which involve the city's art scene. The first team that finishes the race with the most correct answers wins ... not $1 million, but a yet-to-be-determined prize. Hey, bragging rights are a good enough reward, no?

There are two races in Laguna Beach this year. The first will be Sunday, March 24, and kicks off at 11 a.m. The second will be held June 16. Registration is $40 per person, and you'll need to bring a digital or cellphone camera.

The CityRace runs take place in many other SoCal cities, including Pasadena, Hollywood, Culver City, Santa Monica and, for the first time, a Newport Beach one happening April 6.

Sounds like fun? Of course it does. Click up the main website of the race here to register and for more information.
