The Great Family Geocache Race

For Families

About the Event

Get ready for a family-friendly outdoor adventure with our Geocache Race.

Explore the trails around the Eastside Branch by following geo-coordinates to locate hidden caches. Each one holds a clue or challenge that will help you solve the mystery and crack the final code! It’s a fun mix of exploration, problem-solving, and teamwork—perfect for curious minds and active families.

A GPS-enabled device (such as a smartphone) is required and must be provided by participants. The event takes place entirely outdoors, so please dress for the weather and wear comfortable shoes for walking the trails.

For families with children of all ages and their caregiver(s). Please register as a group/family and indicate the number of people in your group using the guests feature.
