About the Game

The Scurry pits 30 4-person teams against each other in a race across the greater Cincinnati area. We'll have tests of speed, teamwork, problem-solving, trivia, geographical knowledge and embarrassment threshold. If this all reminds you of a certain superlative TV race, then you're on the right track.

And we're doing it for a good cause. Learning is Cool is a program that encourages kids to make the most of their education, and it's already making a difference (scroll down the page to read more about it).

It all happens on Friday, April 16, 2010. The race goes through the afternoon, and ends with a big party—aka The AfterScurry—at the finish line, starting around 5:30pm. We'll have live music, food and big trucks full of malted beverages. And you're invited! Purchase your official Scurry cup, so you can get in on the fundraising action, and have a sweet cup to enjoy discounted drinks at the AfterScurry.

Fueling Performance with Knowledge
TiER1

TiER1 Performance Solutions is a Covington, Kentucky based company that helps organizations improve their performance through better communication and education. We’ve had several Amazing Ra-..err..scurries internally over the past few years to get to know each other better and have some fun. And we thought it would be a great way to try to raise some money and awareness for a local charity. Many of us are educators at heart, so the Learning is Cool program was a natural fit. Not to mention the fact that we were hoping to meet some Bengals.
