Food, Drinks, Music & Merchandise

All participants need to arrive at 1pm and we will be serving food and refreshments (each participant will receive food and drink tickets at check-in; water will be provided).  At this time, we will make sure that you have completed your registration and have a signed a waiver for each one of your riders.  There will also be a number of vendors selling steampunk-inspired items, DJ music and live music.

The Rally

The rally will begin around 2:00pm in front of the Neverwas Haul. The challenges will be in the parking lot south of the Mare Island Arts Studio near the line up and parking area. You will receive your parking info at check in.

Obtainium Cup Challenges: Tips for surviving your adventure

All participants must work their way through the challenges along the route.  Your ability to move through them will be scored by our panel of Judges.  

  1. Zombie Hazard. To get past this hazard, you must do one of the following: convince them you are a Zombie, bribe them with something a Zombie would want (jello brains or vodka for Russian Sailor Zombies), or convince them you have no brains, or come up with an original solution (beating Zombies with croquet bats or other weaponry is forbidden as this is a protected Zombie Preserve).

  2. Mad Hatter Tea Party. The Queen of Hearts leads the madcap party in a variety of riddles and games!

  3. Robot Realm. In the Robot Realm, participants will be required to demonstrate their robot fighting skills with our trash can robots.

Race Finish & After Party

The race will finish when the last vehicle finishes the challenges and is parked along the waterfront. Afterwards, there will be an awards ceremony along with food items, refreshments, and music until 6pm.
