One of the things that differentiated the Urban Challenge from a more typical adventure race is that use of cell phones was allowed and even rather mandatory, so it makes sense that it would be sponsored by mobile players. You really have to know the host city well though - or know someone who does. I did it in Seattle a few years ago and found out how little I knew about this city. :) Wonder if this is put on by the same people who do the Urban Challenge adventure race (the “uc” in the hostname implies it is).
