This walking event will start in front of the Sister Cities Café (200 N. 18th Street). Instructions will be given out at 12:30 pm and the Rallye will begin at 1:00 pm.

Each team of 2 people is given a list of directions to navigate a walking course.

Teams will have four hours to walk around the area following instructions and looking for answers to clues.

Along the way, teams find answers to burning questions germane to life in Philadelphia:
(where do you find a $1.99 Super Hoagie, or who built the Shakespeare statue).
The team with the most correct answers wins!
• You are looking for clues along the way
• You do NOT need to know the area
• Bring pen/pencil, clipboard and cellphone
• Top three teams get medals and the winning team gets their names on the Full Moon Cup

The Rallye will conclude at City Tap Logan Square (100 N. 18th Street) teams will have time to grab a bite to eat and raise a glass (or two) while the scores are added up and the winners announced

Proceeds from this Rallye will support the IRC's 2025 Season.
