2010 Oyster Racing Series
Therapeutic Associates Proudly Presents
The Oyster Racing Series is an event unparalled like none other. This urban adventure race travels throughout the urban atmosphere of the inner Seattle limits. It’s where city meets adventure with a twist and add fun and athleticism. Picture the Amazing Race only urban. For three years Therapeutic Associates has taken on the challenge as being the title sponsor of this fun and unique event that supports the Arthritis Foundation.
The race is billed as the “Ultimate Urban Adventure Race” for its uncanny ability to combine pure athleticism with thought-provoking strategy. Teams will run-bike-paddle-climb- and perform other crazy athletic stuff to race around the city, answering clues and completing tasks. This amped, one-day race will have you doing things and in places you never experienced before.
