We have received the first entries for this years race.  Meet K-Dog and Drag Racer!

Drag Racer

What are we supposed to do?

We are ready to start accepting entries for this years TRFTHOI.  

All Geocachers can enter up to 3 trackables for this race.  The trackables can be travel bugs, travel tags, geocoins, and anything else as long as it is trackable on Geocaching.com.  The offical starting point for this years race will be at A Series of Fortunate Events - The Final (#4)

We have set up a page {Example tag (2012 TRFTHOI)} that you can use as an example for setting your trackables page up.  You can set your page up any way that you would like to.  There are only a couple of things that are required to be on every page:

1.  The title of your trackable must include the following - (2012 TRFTHOI) - this is the phrase that we will use to filter on when we tally the mileage of the trackable.

2.  Activate your trackable, setting the origin as New Hampshire and drop it into the official event.  If you will not be able to attend the official event, contact us and we can give you an address to mail your tags to. 

Trackables that are being mailed must be received by August 16, 2012.  If you are coming to the event, you can bring your trackables on the day of the event.

The 2012 Trackable Race For the Heck Of It! (TRFTHOI!)

2012 TRFTHOI

8/18/2012 – 8/18/2013

We are happy to announce the running of the 2nd annual TRFTHOI!  This years race will begin in New Hampshire, USA and will run for a full year.

The race this year will be for mileage.  The trackable that travels the furthest will be the winner.  We are also working on a way to give every racer a second chance to win.  More details will be announced once our plans are finalized.

A series of Fortunate Events #4 will be the official launch event for this years race.  The event will be held on International Geocaching Day.  All trackables that are entered will be available for discovery and then attendees will take them when they leave the event.

This race is open to all Geocachers and their families.  Anyone that is unable to attend the launch event can mail their Trackables to us and we will make sure that it starts the race.

We will be posting the race rules and other details soon, so make sure you check here often for updates.

Happy Trails and Happy Caching!

The Date is Set!

August 18th, 2012
