Alley Cat racing is an outlaw / unsanctioned race that sends riders on a mission through the city to various checkpoints. These checkpoints are usually kept secret until the race starts and forces the riders to think quick and ride fast.

- A bicycle
- A Smartphone
- Whatsapp installed
- A QR code reader app (Iphone does this in the camera app)

How the race works:
- Manifest is handed out in sealed envelopes at 18h45
- Riders open the manifest to get their first look at all the locations
- The race begins and each rider makes his/her own route to the check in locations.
- Using your QR code reader, you’ll scan the QR codes at each location to check in. QR codes allow you to join a Whatsapp group named after the location you’re at.
