GeoRace Turns Any Park Into an Amazing Race

OTTAWA, Ontario - Rezul -- GeoRace, a location-based outdoor challenge app created by Ottawa entrepreneur Mathieu Blake, is inviting people to turn their local park into an amazing race. Available now for iPhone, Apple Watch and Android, GeoRace lets players discover races nearby or build their own, race to real-world GPS checkpoints, solve challenges and compete for a spot on the leaderboard.

To mark the launch, GeoRace is hosting Catch the Bad Guy, a free GPS outdoor challenge running October 27 to October 29, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. local time. In Ottawa, the race takes place at Major's Hill Park. Racers in participating cities, including Toronto (High Park), Vancouver (Stanley Park), New York (Central Park), Boston (Christopher Columbus Waterfront Park), Miami (South Beach) and San Francisco (Sue Bierman Park), reach their local checkpoints and answer the same featured questions.

"I built GeoRace because I wanted a reason to put the phone to work getting people outside instead of keeping them on the couch," said Mathieu Blake, Founder of GeoRace. "Whether it's a family weekend, a workout with friends or a class outing, GeoRace turns any park into an amazing race. You're moving, you're exploring and you're competing, all at the same time."

How it works

- Find or create a race. Players browse public, community and recommended races on a map, or enter a private race code from a friend. Creators place checkpoints, add challenges and publish races publicly, privately with a shareable code, or as a route others can copy to their own location.

- Race to checkpoints. A live GPS map shows every checkpoint. Each unlocks when a player is within 10 metres, and checkpoints can be completed in any order.

- Solve challenges: check-ins, true-or-false, multiple-choice and missing-letter or text-answer.

- Pick a race type: Race for Time (lowest time wins; each wrong answer adds a one-minute penalty), Race for Points (most correct answers wins) or Race for Completion (finish to unlock achievements and badges).
