F.A.Q. - Running Date Official Website

What is Running Date?
- The Running Date is a fun date inspired by "The Amazing Race". Teams of two will participate in an adventure of mental and physical challenges while running against other teams within Toronto downtown core. You will solve puzzles to discover challenge locations, work as a team to perform fun activities and race to the finish to win great prizes!

Is the event inclusive?
- Yep! We welcome all ethnicities and sexual orientation.

We are a married couple; can we participate with our kids?
- Yep, definitely! They can be your awesome ground support team or cheerleader(s)!

I'm single and don't have a date, can I participate??
- Hmm, send us a email running.date@everbutterfly.com with title "looking for date", and let us know a bit about yourself, we will see if we can match you up with someone, but no guarantee though.

How well do I need to know Toronto?
- If you know the city like the back of your hand, good for you! You are new to this city, even better! You will discover hidden gems in our community!

Do we really need to run? I'm out of shape...
- While running might help you achieve the gold, you don't have to race to enjoy the excitement and fun. Besides, there are different categories of prizes to be won even if you take things at your own pace (ie. Best answer to our question; best costume, etc).

Do I need to sign a waiver?
- We do need you to sign a waiver electronically during registration, then another one on the race day. Please bear in mind that safety concern is on the top of our list while designing the race. We want all of you to have as much fun as possible without compromising on safety standards. For examples, you are required to obey all traffic laws.

Do I have to participate with a date? Can I go with my brother?
- You don't have to come with a date, but we did design the event with people who are either in and want to be in a relationship in mind. You can expect to get close and intimate with whoever you are coming with. If you are that comfortable with your brother, please by all means, we don't judge.

What is Everbutterfly?
- Everbutterfly is a Toronto based venture that aims to enrich people's lives and relationships.

Why we are doing this?
- The shorter version:
- We need this for ourselves, so do our friends in relationships and marriages.
- The longer version:
- Our relationships with other around us define who we are. We don't get to decide who our parents or children are, but finding the significant other is one of the biggest decisions in our lives. They will witness your life with you and grow old with you. It makes couple relationships inevitably important but so easily taken for granted. There are so many things in life that compete for your attention and the quality time you spend with your significant other. By making unique, affordable and high quality products and services catered to couples, we want every couple to keep the butterflies in their stomach forever.
