If you're looking for something fun and challenging to do with family and friends in Sydney without being coloured all over, then check out the Sydney City Scramble. This Amazing Race-style event offers a day of excitement. laughter, camaraderie and physical and mental exercise while supporting a good cause.



Launched in 2013, the Sydney City Scramble helped raise awareness and much needed funding for the Schizophrenia Research Institute. The national medical research Institute is the only organisation solely dedicated to discovering ways to prevent and cure schizophrenia, a mental illness that affects approximately 1 in 100 people in Australia including teenagers. Teams participating in last year's Sydney City Scramble raised over $33,000 for schizophrenia research. The event hopes to raise more funds as new teams come on board and and 2013 winning teams return to defend their titles.



There are 3 main prize categories including the Scramble winner, best dressed and highest fundraiser. Some of last year's teams include Scramble winners 'Catchmeifyoucan' and 'The Justice League'. The best dressed Scramblers were 'The Famous Five' and 'The Scrambling Scrabbles'. and the teams who raised the most funds were 'Brookfield Multiplex' and 'MPW'.



Participating in this event on 30 August is easy. Just grab family members, friends or work mates to form a 3 or 5 person team. Then choose a snazzy name and sign up at the Sydney City Scramble website. You can select to join as a community team for $200 or corporate team for $400 per team. In addition to the free drinks and goody bags provided to community teams, corporate teams receive extra stuff including recognition on the website and signage board on the day and winners can keep the Sydney City Scramble corporate trophy in their office until 2015.



The competition for the title of the Scramble Champions will start at 8am in Victoria Park, Camperdown where drinks and breakfast BBQ are available. You and your team will be performing tasks and solving clues from 9.30am to 2pm. The competition ends with drinks, BBQ and live music by Bondi FM Radio in the park from 2pm to 6pm.



Instead of a lazy Saturday on the couch or at the pub, grab a team together for the Sydney City Scramble and head out for a day of fun, entertainment, food, charity and tour of the city.
