Only 1 day left!! We are gearing up for UrbaCity Challenge and I’m sure you are too! Right? If not you should be! Online registration is closed for this year, but there is always next year!

This is our fifth year participating in UrbaCity as a challenge station and we strive to make every year better then the last!

A trip down memory lane

2012

Our very first year being an UrbaCity challenge station. We were a last minute addition so we didn’t get the best location, we where just around the side of the Save-On-Foods Memorial arena where the challenge starts and ends so we were super busy at the very beginning and at the very end which a lot of chill time in between.

But we felt the passion of the racers and loved the cause so we immediately signed up for next year!

2013

This year we were better prepared and got a super nice location in Market Square in the covered court yard, we even did a week long event following UrbaCity. The racers had a bast riding the Segways and we had a lot of people who had done it the year before as well and had hoped to see us again. The mascots for the Royals and the UVic Vikes were partaking in the UrbaCity Challenge and they stopped in and rode the Segways (Marty the Marmot sadly could not due to his feet being a tad too big, poor Marty!).

2014

The following year we opted for a more scenic locale and managed to get right in front of the Delta Point Resort. Such a lovely spot for a Segway ride! Sadly we got the least amount of pictures this year.

2015

For 2015 we went all or nothing with a location right in town behind the Empress and kicked up the Segway challenge with some new elements. As a lot of the racers come back every year simply riding the Segway around a couple cones was no longer enough of a challenge. We had 3 different challenge stations, a balance and puzzle challenge, a “soggy bags” challenge (it’s really not as weird as it sounds!) and also the dress up challenge.

While I can’t disclose any specific information regarding the challenge on Sunday I can tell you that we have a new and exciting twist for this year that we have never done before!

We can’t wait to see you’re smiling, sweaty faces on race day!
