About this event
Cumberland Motor Club invites you to a shortest distance scavenger hunt on wheels. Starting in South Portland and finishing in Auburn you will visit some great historical sites, cemeteries, lakes, and even a playground for our younger passengers.
All competitors will receive a map of the area and a clue/question sheet. Using the clue sheet, it is up to your team to locate the places that you will need to visit to find the answers. These answers might be on a historical marker, a gravestone, a park bench, a memorial, or a building.
There is no specific route. The vehicle with the shortest distance traveled wins. While there is a time limit, there are no points given or deducted for getting there quicker. Please obey all traffic laws and speed limits. There are 5 hours from the end of the drivers meeting to arrive at the finish before penalties will be incurred. This should allow plenty of time for your team to take breaks at one of the many food, gas, and playground options along your way.
Participation is open to CMC members and non-members alike. Pre-registration is not required (but recommended for CMC members). Just arrive at the rally start point at the prescribed time to join in.
Cumberland Motor Club social points will be awarded to all CMC members who participate. Club members are encouraged to pre-register in MotorsportReg to ensure their social points are properly credited.
