Baltimore Dog Cat Rat (Bike Race)
The inaugural Baltimore Dog Cat Rat Race is a biking scavenger hunt, benefiting two Baltimore-based nonprofits: the Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter and Bikemore. Our event is in the style of an “Alley Cat” or “Rat Race,” which are part bike race, part scavenger hunt, that rewards a mix of strategy and speed. Therefore, we thought it only right to name ours the Dog Cat Rat, to represent all the types of critters BARCS takes in every year as an open-admission shelter!
