What is the Pretty Darn Good Race?

 

          Loosely modeled on the CBS TV show, The Amazing Race, the Pretty Darn Good Race is an exploration challenge race.  The Race was created by father-daughter team "Racemeisters" Rich and Leslie Gallaher (later joined by Rich’s wife, Janie). 

          We are not professional race organizers.  We do this for the fun of it, and to create a fun experience for the participants.  We do not profit from it, and all of the entry fees are used for the race.

          The Pretty Darn Good Race is a one-day race around the Puget Sound area in which 2-person teams search for clues that lead them to obscure places, fun activities and further clues.  It is similar to a scavenger hunt, but as far as we can tell, it is different than any other races, such as scavenger hunts or the Urban Challenge.  At each checkpoint, teams receive a clue to the next location.  Teams don't know what the activities are, but they will have fun! The top 3 teams with the shortest overall times win prizes.

          The First EVER Pretty Darn Good Race was held on August 1, 2004.
