The Quest Adventure Run

The Quest! Adventure Run, held in Auburn, California, is a unique and immersive running event offering 6-mile and 16-mile distances with no set route. Participants embark on a fantasy-themed journey where they choose character classes by rolling dice, hunt hidden "bosses" throughout the town, and complete side quests involving riddles, scavenger hunts, and challenges. Runners use physical or digital maps and their phones to navigate and check in with bosses, earning time bonuses or penalties based on dice battles.

The event culminates in a final showdown with a dragon. All finishers receive a custom D20 die, a commemorative shirt, and a post-run drink, creating a fun, adventurous atmosphere blending running with role-playing elements. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
