A LITTLE TEASER....Win the City Chase/Palm Adventure! Palm and City Chase have collaborated to create the City Chase/Palm Adventure! Maybe your team isn't the fastest, but perhaps the most resourceful!

What's the City Chase/Palm Adventure?
In your event bag, you will find one (1) balloon. During City Chase, you must find a companion balloon that will be placed somewhere on the race course; fill both balloons with helium and your team must cross the finish line holding the two balloons above your heads.

How to Qualify?
Both team members must cross the finish line holding helium-filled orange balloons with strings attached, flying above their head to qualify for the Grand Prize drawing.

Grand Prize - A winning team from each regional will be selected from all teams that complete the City Chase/Palm Adventure during their race at the post event party via a random drawing. The selected team from each regional drawing will take home two Palm® Centro smartphones the day of the race and will then be entered into the Grand Prize adventure sweepstakes where one team will be selected as the City Chase/Palm Adventure Grand Prize winner. The team chosen in the Grand Prize sweepstake will receive first class airfare, ground transfers, hotel accommodations for two for 3 nights and a $400 American Express Gift Certificate to cover incidentals. The Grand Prize winning team will go to the City Chase US Championship as a member of the Palm City Chase team and will play an active role at the event photographing and videoing the race while sharing their point of view of the race with City Chasers from around the globe.
