The Fireball Run (Sept. 25 th -Oct 4 th , 2008) is an invitational “Adventurtainment Rally” placing 100 competitive teams (vehicles) with up to four people per team on the American landscape.  The sponsor-friendly national event journeys participants along a 3500 mile, nine day cross-country adventure.  Fireball Run is not a race, but an interactive live action “game”. America is the game board, players are but a pawn in the game. Starting on one side of the country and finishing on the other; players know only the beginning and the end…what happens in between is a mystery to be solved. Players advance in the game and gain points by successfully solving clues which are presented at each day's starting line. Two to three challenging road course race track competition events are incorporated into Fireball Run's game play. There are several opportunities to gain bonus points. Bonus points are revealed leading up to and throughout the events game play. Teams also participate in the Child Rescue Network's Race to Recover America's Missing Children ; each team is assigned a different missing child. Your mission; distribute the provided posters of your missing child along the 3500 mile route, in an effort to raise awareness and recover your missing child. One out of every six missing children is found as a direct result of being recognized from a picture. The team which crosses the finish line with the most points wins the event. The vehicle must cross the finish line under its own power. The team vehicle must be the exact same vehicle originally registered at the start of the event. Registered players may not be swapped out for non-registered players at anytime during the event.
