The Great Reuse Race, SF

If you think you're a crafty upcycler, a glue gun pro, a reuse extraordinaire, a repurposing whiz or a thrift-shop queen (or king), come test your reuse mettle and prove that you're the best!

In honor of National Reuse Day, the San Francisco Bay Area ReUse Alliance is hosting a reuse themed Amazing Race-style scavenger hunt in the Mission District of San Francisco. Teams of between 2 and 6 will solve puzzles and clues, travel together to hidden spots, participate in upcycling and reuse challenges, and find unique people, places and things related to reuse. This race will test your upcycling creativity, challenge you to perform fun reuse tasks, and discover interesting repurposed artwork and reuse organizations in San Francisco. See the world through a new lens.

Tickets are only $20 and the team with the most points wins an Upcycled Scavenger Hunt Trophy and gift certificates to reuse stores in San Francisco. The top three teams get their choice of a $100 gift certificate to SCRAP, a $100 gift certificate to Building Resources and a $100 gift certificate to Thrift Town (First place team chooses first).

Free for children 12 and younger, $15 early bird, $20 normal tickets, $100 team ticket.
