GCCO 2022 TB Race: Launch Party Join us for the kick-off to the GCCO 2022 TB race. We will meet at Starbucks on S. College (The old Burger King) on May 15, 2022 @ 2:00 PM.  The organizer is not responsible for any purchases made while here.

 

??????Particpation in the TB race is not required to attend the event, all are welcome to attend.  Purchases are not required at the venue.

 

Weather permitting we will meet outside on the patio.

 

Rules are listed below...

1. You may enter any two types of trackables you wish per account. Travel bugs, coins, or TB codes on anything are eligible. Anyone with a Geocaching account is eligible to participate. You will activate and own your own trackable. Have fun creating the page.

 

2. Your trackable must have zero miles on May 15th, 2022 and no back logging is allowed. You may enter the race at any time during that week so if you miss the May 15th start, you can still join!!!

 

3. You may not move your own or your immediate family member's trackables. You may move any other racer's trackables.

 

4. You may not mail or virtual move your trackable. Note: The Find Signal the FrogŪ - Locationless in 2020 or Let’s improve the outdoors - Locationless Cache would be virtual moves. If you racer gets dropped or dipped into a Locationless cache, you will need to delete those logs. The trackable must be moved in the possession of a Geocacher at all times. That means you cannot give it to your muggle relatives or friends to take it on vacation with them. They will have to make a Geocaching account!

 

5. Improperly dipped trackables will be requested to have their logs fixed by the owner. This can happen if people do not log their finds in order. We will notify you if we are made aware of this. Failure to fix the issue can result in disqualification.

 

6. No proxy re-entries are allowed. If any of your original entries go missing, then their race is finished. As a result, all entries must have a photo uploaded of the TB as it will appear before the start of the race. Photos of your TB with the trackable code must be submitted to GCCO to be eligible for the race.

 

7. There are no size or tagging requirements on your physical trackable. It would be helpful to mention that your trackable is in this race and include a link to this cache on your trackable page description. However, there are no trackable page requirements and we leave that up to you.

 

Come with your trackable activated and ready to go. You can drop it in the event, and another Geocacher can then begin its journey. Do not forget this is supposed to be a fun and light hearted competition. Anyone not playing by the rules will simply be removed. Please reach out to me if you have any questions! Also, GCCO has a limited number of racer tags available for purchase for $6.00 if you want to enter and need a trackable code.

 

Hope to see you there, there will be multiple events for this event across the state, hopefully you can make it to one.

Thank you to all that attended the TB Launch event. If you didn't attend or still want to enter the race you still can, up until May 22. (May 23 at midnight is to late).

To enter submit a photo of your trackable and tracking code to

You may have two trackables in the race, but must start with zero miles. The trackables must start in Colorado either in a cache or given to another cacher not related to you.

Good luck, and have fun

Sorry to have missed your event for the TB launch. Should have set an alarm for it .
Double checking the race rules before releasing a TB. And the race is on.
