The Great Columbia Quest

Registration cost: before March 7: $30 HC members & $40 non-members | March 8 - 22: $40 HC members & $50 non-members

Join Historic Columbia on Columbia’s 228th birthday for The 3rd Annual Great Columbia Quest! This family-friendly, city-wide scavenger hunt is the perfect way to celebrate the city’s founding and learn about its history. You’ll race across downtown Columbia on foot or by bicycle in teams of two, following clues to visit historic sites and complete challenges to win as many points as you can in three hours! Registration includes a shirt for each participant and admission to a celebratory pizza party from noon until 1 pm, when the awards will be presented. This year, awards will be given to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place overall as well as to the team with the Best Name and the team with the Best Costume.

You may register your team by calling 803.252.1770 x 23, emailing reservations@historiccolumbia.org or visiting http://www.historiccolumbia.org/events/the-great-columbia-quest. The registration form is available at historiccolumbia.org. Please note: in order for your registration to be accepted, both team members must sign the waiver on the registration form.
