DC-area green events in August
Here are a few green events happening in the Washington, DC, area during August.
August 1 - GO Urban Adventure Race
This is a city-wide scavenger hunt and fundraiser for the Vallon Institute, a non-profit think tank that works on solutions to unhealthy and unsustainable living. Teams of two compete in the race. They receive 12 clues (via text message) that lead them to 12 locations, or "GO points." At each location they must complete a mental or physical challenge in order to get the next clue. Contestents cannot use a personal vehicle, taxi, bike or rollerblades -- they have to use footpower or public transport to get around the city.
Details: $100 entry fee per team. Race begins at 12 p.m. at Kogan Plaza at George Washington University, 2132 H Street NW.
