Back for it's 5th year, the Shreveport Tourist Race is a scavenger hunt event where participants are invited to either Race or Ride a route visiting five locations around town. The twist? Participants do not know the locations until 5 minutes before it starts and can visit them in any order! At each location is a book, where participants rip out the page that corresponds with their rider number (provided at registration). Though you can visit the locations in any order, the route is ~10 miles in total all located in town along bike friendly streets.
Racers will start together with trophies for the Top 3 finishers. After the Racers take off, the Riders can start their tour of Shreveport. All riders who visit all 5 locations and provide their pages at the finish are entered into a raffle for prizes provided by the community!
