What is the Broomfield Brawler?
It's a scavenger hunt or race with the same idea as a wilderness eco
challenge/Amazing Race, but set right here at
the Broomfield Community Center and is
conducted in a few hours. First, the race stops are a secret - hence the
“scavenger” part of the name. Two mandatory disciplines are utilized
during the race: running and biking. There are additional disciplines
that each team may come across in the race. Those disciplines could
include climbing, scooter-ing/skating, navigation, and some surprises.
Technically, swimming is not a listed discipline but we do reserve the
right to get racers wet. We will provide all additional gear, just grab
your running shoes, bikes and helmets! This
year, the bout is on Sunday, May 20 and starts at 9am!
Who's in the ring?
Anyone may compete in the Broomfield Brawler - from weekend warriors to
elite athletes and anyone in between. We’re offering
two team options:
Team of 2: Each made up of 2 people.
Teams of 2 complete all legs of the race together.
Team of 4: Teams of 4 are ideal for
friends and/or groups looking for a great way to get involved with a
unique team-building event. The course and all legs of the race are the
same, but participants on teams of four can chose to compete in as many
or few of the legs of the course as they like, but a MANDATORY minimum
of 2 team members must be on the course for each leg of the race. This
gives the opportunity for racers to catch their breath, compete in legs
that they are stronger in (i.e. might have a person that only does
biking). This is designed to be a flexible and fun way to compete!
Course Description
The Brawler course will circumnavigate the City and County of
Broomfield, focusing on Broomfield’s attractions and landmarks. The
course starts at the Broomfield Community Center. This is a
“spoke-and-hub race,” where the race spokes out from the transition area
and always comes back to the hub. All teams must complete each leg of
the course correctly and in the proper order.
You must be 16 or older to participate. Since the course is a
secret, team members will be given a Clue just before the race begins.
The Clue will indicate the first “Check-Point” destination. The goal
will be to reach each Check-Point as quickly as possible using the
designated mode of transportation. Each Clue will direct teams to a
different Check-Point where teams will need to complete a task. After
each leg of the race is completed, teams will return to the transition
area to get the next set of instructions. The race will feature 6-8 legs
of the course. This race is designed to take
2-5 hours to complete and cover 12-20 miles total.
