Treasure!  There's tresaure in there them streets.

The Sixth Annual Gig Harbor Street Scramble, a kind of treasure hunt,is May 26 with a 10 a.m. start. Typically done in teams, this is the largest street scramble in North America. It's also the only free street scramble in the Puget Sound.

The Gig Harbor Street Scramble involves either a 90-minute or 3-hour treasure hunt. You can choose whether to do the event on foot, by bike, unicycle, or other non-motorized method of propulsion. Cars or anything with a motor are not allowed. You can also sign up as part of a team or by yourself.

Between 30 and 50 stops are noted on a map, all are a secret until the morning of the event. The farthest is usually several miles from the starting point. The 90-minute and 3-hour time lengths feature the same number of stops.

"Street Scramble is so much fun and one of the reasons is you can do as many stops as you like, so it fits individual needs," says Laureen Lund, City of Gig Harbor Marketing Director. "For both the 90-minute and 3-hour you choose to hit as many as you like as long as you are back in the time allotted. The catch is that the stops that are the furthest away have a higher point value. So if you are very competitive and want to get lots of points you head straight for the furthest away point."

The event is free and starts off summer with good old fashioned family fun. Even though it's free, if you want to join in, you will need to register. Registering before the day of the event will get you a free t-shirt (first 200 pre-registrations), but registration will also be open the day of the event, too.

The starting point is at Skansie Brothers Park at 3207 Harborview Drive, right in downtown Gig Harbor.
