Sunday September 18th: Get ready for perhaps one of the funnest events this season, the 2011 Morningside Ride Road Challenge! Get a team together, get your car and meet up at St. Martin’s University (5300 Pacific Ave SE Lacey, WA 98503) at 9AM for a ride that will take you all over Thurston County in an epic scavenger hunt a la the Amazing Race. Teams will collect clues and solve challenges from the starting line, all the way to the Lucky Eagle Casino in Rochester (118th Ave. SW) where there will be games, awards and prizes! Unlike other scavenger hunts though, your finishing time isn’t everything! The teams with the most accurate answers will be the winners.

The proceeds from this event will go to support Morningside’s employment programs that aid individuals with disabilities in finding jobs in the community
