his is a semi-virtual event for active transportation users to explore their neighborhood and get to know their community.

The more tasks you complete, the higher the chances you have of winning prizes.

What about COVID-19?
- We recognize that during this global pandemic, many shops are closed, or struggling to stay open. Businesses will be able to choose their level of engagement. After businesses submit challenges we will make all necessary edits so that the challenges can be completed within the City of San Diego’s guidelines. Here’s more information about the use of face coverings.
- Throughout the three week long even participants will be encouraged to abide by CDC guidelines. This is a 3-week event to promote engagement over a long period of time so that people can participate on their own time.
- Tasks and challenges will all be solo with limited person to person interaction.
- Resources for biking during COVID-19 can be found here.
How does this support businesses and communities?
The purpose of this event is to encourage active transportation use and highlight businesses, art and culture!
>>REGISTER your business HERE!<<
Participants must use active transportation to explore the city. Because active transportation allows people to move slowly and parking is not a factor in their access, these people are generally more positive, and they are able to experience, and see more of what your area has to offer!
Products, gift certificates and services purchased from businesses in your area will be awarded as prizes to the scavenger hunt winners. We expect about 1000 people to participate, visiting your business district regularly during the 15-day event and discovering what makes Mid-City SD so special.
Cities are safer when more people go with active transportation. This event encourages people reduce their local carbon footprint and live a more healthy life style.
