Fun and games for all at fourth annual Great Rockton Race

A team of six ladies were ready for the challenge of a scavenger hunt in downtown Rockton, Saturday morning, Sept. 25.

Solving clues, answering questions and performing feats of skill and daring: all
part of the fourth annual Great Rockton Race held in Rockton, Saturday, Sept. 25.

Each team was equipped with start-up supplies and a survival kit. Teams of 2-6 adults hurried through the downtown area of Main Street and Hawick Street searching for objects and clues in a modern-day scavenger hunt, a
friendly competition for friends and families who were up to the challenge of besting their opponents and bringing home a trophy and bragging rights.

“Two Moms” won the 2021 Rockton Great Race competition held in downtown Rockton and Settlers Park, Saturday, Sept. 25.

The organizers filmed several videos beforehand to get people excited about the event.

Get together a team of 2-6 people for a few hours of friendly competition. Teams will be sent throughout downtown Rockton in a quest for new ways to publicly humiliate themselves. Search for clues, answer tough questions, perform feats of skill (and luck) all in hopes of winning prizes, bragging rights and potentially a trophy - but don't get your hopes up.
