A resident of the Dallas/Fort Worth area of Texas, David T. Ball maintains an active lifestyle. In 2014 and 2015, he participated in Urban Dare in Dallas. David T. Ball’s team won first place in 2014 and came in second the following year.

A unique team race, Urban Dare combines trivia, dares, and photo hunts with a race through the city of Dallas. In teams of two, people find different checkpoints throughout the city. At these checkpoints, the teams must take a photograph and perform a dare.

Dares can be either physical or mental and must be completed before the team earns passport stamps from that checkpoint. Once the dare is completed, teams must take the required photograph from the checkpoint with a digital camera or cell phone camera to prove they were there.

Each team is allowed to move between checkpoints according to its own plan. The winning team must cross the finish line first after completing all checkpoint dares and photographs. On average, the entire race takes two to four hours to complete.
