What is a chariot team?
We know we've got a lot of fancy terminology here, so here's what you need to know in plain "olde" English!
SMCR Dragon Quest is a scavenger hunt for puzzle pieces at locations around Calvert and St. Mary’s Counties. Chariot teams will have the opportunity to win prizes while trying to decipher clues to determine where to find their next puzzle piece. Each chariot team will be asked to complete some type of “challenge” at each stop to gain the next puzzle piece. The Quest will not be timed; it is not a race.
A chariot team is comprised of one motor vehicle which will be referred to as a chariot. Each team will be encouraged to dress up according to their team theme and to decorate their chariot as well!
There will be prizes awarded for creativity, so really think about your team theme. You can see team examples in the section below.

What are the entry fees?
Each chariot rider, age 16 and above, will be asked to pay a $25 registration fee to participate. Children ride free! Each chariot team will be encouraged to raise at least an additional $100 to benefit SMCR. Additional prizes will be awarded based on the amount of funds raised.
Once you register your chariot team, SMCR will build a customized fundraiser page for your team. Teams are also encouraged to run Facebook Fundraisers on behalf of SMCR in addition to this customized page.
All entry fees are nonrefundable and support SMCR's inclusive events for community members with developmental differences.
