  • The RUSH: Race & Urban Scavenger Hunt is not your ordinary event - it is a challenge unlike anything in Lung Association history!

    Teams of 2 will scour the city of Vancouver, deciphering clues to help them complete a predetermined number of Checkpoint Challenges at unknown locations. The challenges are designed to test teams' limits, both mentally and physically, while also being fun and entertaining.

    The first team to complete the race wins a trip for two around the world; but The RUSH is about more than crossing the finish line - it is about the journey and the chance to save lives and change your own!
