Dish-Houston

If you were within a 6 mile radius of Downtown Houston this past Saturday, you couldn't miss it. Scads of Houstonians and even some overzealous out-of-towners (over 180 racers total) took over the patio at Little Woodrows (the brand new one on 2019 Walker St.) as they vied to compete in an amazing Texas-themed urban race.

Tutus, banana costumes, mass amounts of mardi gras beads and more adorned the racers as they plotted a 10-clue checkpoint race equipped with stunts, scavenger hunts and bar-b-que sauce. CitySolve comes to Houston once a year (along with many other cities on the map) to allow participants to buzz around the city (using only their own two feet, Go Rev electric cars, or the METRO (bus or lightrail) to methodically check off clues and mandatory stops before heading back to Little Woodrow's to cross the finish line.

The teams compete for pride, bragging rights of course, a couple hundred bucks cash, the first team back to the cold beer and a chance to compete in the finals in VIVA LAS VEGAS on November 5th. 

The questions are tougher than you might think. Here are a few examples from this years race:

It's the race for runners who like to think, thinkers who like to compete, and everyone who likes to play. Throw in a few checkpoint challenges, a twist here, a turn there, and you've got CitySolve Urban Race! What a great way to get to know your city, have some fun outside while the weather is still gorgeous...supposed to rain Sunday...get to know some neat new folks and have a blast!

It is THIS Saturday! Feb 19th and DISH is a proud Sponsor! Meet us at
