IPRA's 3rd Annual Park Pursuit

Friday, September 14
Location: Wrigleyville area, Chicago

The Park Pursuit, modeled after the hugely successful Amazing Race game, allows for the professional and commercial members of IPRA to engage in a day-long race where team building, healthy competition and recreation take center stage.

Participants of the Park Pursuit, made up of teams of four, will be challenged both physically and mentally as they race through the streets and parks of Wrigleyville. Clue cards will direct teams to various Wrigleyville landmarks where tasks will be performed to continue on in the race. Not only are bragging rights at stake but participants will get a true sense of unity while learning to work better as a team.

We want to thank each and every one of you for participating in the 2007 Park Pursuit. This year there are an amazing 34 teams all looking to out-smart, out-race and out-pace the competition. The excitement is building and we can't wait to see everyone Friday, September 14.



Remember, the Park Pursuit is for your enjoyment. It is a competition but we hope that having a ton of fun and working together as a team take center stage. Thanks again for registering for the Park Pursuit. If you have any questions don't hesitate to email or call 630-376-1911 x 108.
