About the Shadows of Lancaster Adventure Race
This is a Halloween-themed scavenger hunt on foot through Lancaster's streets. Teams follow clues, solve challenges, and track down hidden locations to earn points, all centered on the city's ghost stories and darker local history. Costumes are encouraged, and the route covers a few miles of city blocks at whatever pace your team chooses.
The race starts and ends at Rachel's Creperie on W. Walnut Street, so the finish line drops you right at the door. Afterward, breakfast is available inside, and canned cocktails from a local vendor are on hand for purchase outside.
